The 2022 Sottobanco, a varietal Procanico, displays dried flower, crushed rocks, underbrush and apricot aromas. Textural and weighty, it’s lifted by zesty acidity and mineral tones. An ambrosia-like wave of nectarine and ripe melon follows. The 2022 finishes spicy and with candied ginger hints. $24.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2023) — 2 years ago

A month of skin contact and a year in amphora
Mainly Procanico which is a typical variety of the Northern Lazio
The result is muscular, little tannic, with a mix of stone fruits and a remarkable mineral that gives a bonus to this very enjoyable orange wine.
As per many other macerated it showed better when a bit warmer.
Long aftertaste

This stuff is so delicious. My head is pounding this morning because I also drank other natty wines, cloudy beers, and crappy beers; but this stuff was the winner of birthday celebration in the park! — 5 years ago

Had the 2016, and this 17 is probably a bit better. So so good. First, it's really not as acidic as I would like. Both a good and bad thing. When enjoying lighter fare without a lot of sauce or spice, this Berganorio is a perfect match. Comprised of 30% Procanico, 30% Grechetto, 20% Malvasia, 15% Verdelho, and 5% Drupeggio, this wine is mildly acidic up front, but balanced by lighter lemon, lime and grapefruit that morphs into a wine that is more weighted and mature than expected through the middle and finish. Although the notes are always on the lighter, more tropical side, the wine doesn't ever take a thin or uninspiring side. Although I will definitely say that I don't think this one is really intended to age. Well done Velette! — 7 years ago

プロカニコ70％　マルヴァジア10％　ヴェルデーリョ10％　ドルペッジョ10％
のオレンジワイン。
アプリコット、洋梨、甘い香りと、ちょっと酵母感のある香り。初めは少し微発泡して、ちょっと還元気味だけど、少し時間が経つといずれも解消。
初日はしっかりした果実味。上品な甘さなので、そんなに嫌味はない。そして、旨味。
納豆とも嫌味なく面白いペアリングになった。 — 5 years ago
