PRODUTTORI DI MANDURIA 'ALICE' VERDECA SALENTO, ITALY 2019

Varietal: 100% Verdeca

Region: Salento, Italy

Tastes Like: Dry, fresh, with white flowers, citrus, and hints of pear and pineapple.

Pairs With: Clams with lemon, calamari, baked pastries stuffed with ground meat and onion, anchovy (which is "alice" in Italian!)

What the Pros Say: Wine Enthusiast - 87 Points: "Lively aromas of papaya, melon and lemon start off this fruity number. It's well balanced and juicy on the palate, with a soft curve of melon against a sharper streak of lemon peel. “Alice” means anchovy in Italian, and this zesty white could be a perfect match alongside some fresh seafood."
