Castello Monaci, Verdeca “Petraluce” Salento IGT 2022 (Puglia)
Verdeca is an indigenous variety from Puglia that embodies the essence of summertime. Grown in vineyards near the sea, this vibrant, mineral white wine practically transports you to the seaside with each sip. Petraluce, named after the light-colored stones that dot the vineyards and reflect the intense Puglian sun, is a perfect summer quencher.
The bouquet is intense and delicate, offering attractive hints of tropical fruit and flowers. The flavor is fresh, savory, soft, and persistent. The nose is mineral and creamy, while the palate features a blend of slightly oxidative flavors of nuts, salinity, cream, and restrained stone fruits. It boasts good concentration and richness, making it an ideal choice for warm-weather enjoyment.
