Li Veli Verdeca 2022

This white variety has been cultivated for a long time exclusively in certain areas of Apulia, particularly in the valley of Itria. Owing to its great resistance to disease and adaptability to different soils and conditions, for many years Verdeca was hardly ever vinified on its own but used mainly for blending with other wines or for producing Vermouth. Masseria Li Veli started making varietal Verdeca in 2009 with the intent of launching this historic local variety.  Full-throttle fruit shows both verve and stamina – from pungent lime zest to juicy peach and ripe pear. Bone-dry, concentrated and persistent, this wine shows incredible purity of fruit and lively acidity, finishing with remarkable minerality and ongoing finesse.
