Questo vino

Grapes

Verdeca is found almost exclusively in Puglia, particularly around Taranto and in a small part of Lecce. The variety is known for its freshness, and its wines never reach high alcohol levels. In the last century it was used only in blends and to make sweet wines and vermouths. In this wine Nico Mangione explores its potential as a varietal wine.

Vinification

Nico Mangione macerated the wine for 11 days, longer than usual.

Ageing

The wine aged in steel tanks.

Tasting profile

Fresh in taste, with a fragrant, fruity aroma. By the time of release it had developed a deeper orange colour and greater depth while remaining fresh and easy to drink.

Label / history

Annual production is limited to 3,000 bottles.
