Tasting Notes
"This 100% Verdeca, a rare indigenous varietal, comes from 30 year vines grown on rocky, craggy, limestone-rich soils just outside the beautiful, charming town of Otranto. Its ability to retain acidity and freshness makes it a good choice in hot conditions. Harvest is done by hand and fermentation takes place in temperature controlled stainless tank over 15 days after which it rests on its fine lees for at least three more months. Aromas of white flower, grapefruit and lemon zest lead to a light to medium bodied palate with bright flavors of citrus and passion fruit, and a crisp, mineral-driven finish. Pairs wonderfully with Apulian specialties like Orecchiette with cime di rape or steamed mussels with fennel, garlic lemon and wine."
