Get to know: Paolo Leo, Pianerosse Verdeca
Tasting Note
A delightful, fresh and fruity wine from the south of Italy. The aroma is delicate with hints of apple, citrus and white peach. Fresh and salty on the palate, with a bright refreshing character, and a subtle almond hint on the long and elegant finish.
This would be a great pairing for Italian seafood dishes.
