Verdicchio

Italy's most serious native white hides in plain sight. Verdicchio gives you citrus, a savory almond finish, and enough acidity to age a decade for the price of a weeknight bottle.

Tasting profile
Lemon and green almond over a saline, stony spine, with a slightly bitter finish that reads as savory rather than sweet.
