BIO Verdeca IGP 2019 – Viglione | White wine | Apulia | 6 bottles

44,10 €

An ingenious grape variety, Verdeca.

Even under the background sun of southern Italy, it retains its acidity and acquires a herbal, aromatic and seductive note. It also helps that Giovanni’s fields are firmly in Murgia’s cool heights and cleared of pebbles and loose limestone. Real proof that Italy’s heel can also do something with the white grapes. A happy match with grilled green white fish, crispy salads and gentle sun on the terrace.

Description

Verdeca is an autochthonous white grape variety that is grown in Italy mainly in Puglia. Verdeca has a long tradition there and was once brought to Apulia by the ancient Greeks, where it can still be found today under the name Lagorhi, but is slowly disappearing. The variety is primarily used in Italy for the production of vermouth and, when properly aged, produces light and fruity white wines with an almond aroma. Since much more vermouth is now being drunk across Europe, the Verdeca is being cultivated a little more strongly again.

Our food recommendation:

The Verdeca is a lively companion to tasty casseroles in which fish and vegetables have been imaginatively combined. The Apulian white wine also tastes good with light salads, clear soups and white meat. For example, what do you think of a fine roulade made from lean turkey breast, filled with Serano ham, dried tomatoes, Swiss chard and fresh herbs? Serve with broccoli with almonds, tender carrot vegetables and orecchiette.

Weinbeschreibung

The Zullo family is one of the drivers of the old Gioia viticulture. One counts on vineyards that are located at the highest point of the wine-growing area, at altitudes between 350 and 450 meters above sea level. The vines thrive there on soils with red, iron-rich soil, which are mixed with limestones and pebbles. The 15 wines produced by the Zullo family range from the white Verdeca to Falanghina and the red Nero di Troia to Negroamaro, with the Primitivo from Gioia del Colle being considered the most important grape variety with the greatest impact. The 2019 Verdeca vintage was matured in steel tanks and came with only 11.5% alcohol in the bottle, from which it shines in a bright, light straw yellow with a subtle gold tone. Its bouquet is delicate and fresh, smells very lively of peaches and limes, flanked by delicate herbal scents, which are typical of the Murgia plateau. On the palate, the white Verdeca is soft, light and fruity, with subtle spice and a hint of almonds and mineral notes, which is stimulating and you look forward to the next sip. The moderate alcohol content and its refreshing style reinforce this impression and you experience carefree enjoyment. A delicious, authentic white wine experience.
