Price per case:
£79.33
Bottles per case:
12 x 75 cl
Style:
Fruity Dry Whites
Description:
Pale straw in colour with green tinges, this wine has a fine scent and taut dryness with a good fruit-acid balance, underlined with a hint of bitter almond. The Colonnara Cooperative in Cupramontana was established in 1959 and has now 183 small growers owning nearly 300 hectares. Apart from a high tech approach to vinification, production is characterised by an effectively “organic” approach to viticulture, using minimal treatments and only natural fertilisers. Verdicchio is unjustly unfashionable in the U.K. At its best, as in Cuprese – a selection from low yielding 20 year old vines – it can be a wine of real personality. The characteristic salty tang of the Verdicchio grape is supported by a positive, ripe, soft texture that develops well with bottle age (12 x 75 cl)
