Tasting Note:
The 2022 Alice Verdeca is a bright, coastal white from southern Puglia. Aromas of lime zest, green apple, and white peach mingle with fennel, almond, and a hint of sea spray. On the palate, it’s crisp and refreshing, balancing citrus and orchard fruit with herbal lift and saline minerality. Light-bodied yet textural, it finishes clean and zesty. A versatile, Mediterranean white that’s equally at home with seafood, salads, or simply enjoyed chilled on a warm day.
