Verduno

Light

Cork

A beautifully light, translucent ruby colour, with inviting aromas of pomegranate, hibiscus and cranberry lifted by cracked pepper. After six to eight days of maceration and five to six months in stainless steel or cement, it remains delicate and airy. The acidity gathers gradually, with dried cherry and pressed blueberry underneath, before a fabulous, spicy rocket-leaf kick on the finish – apt for a wine whose name comes from ‘spezia’, Italian for spice. Characterful, refreshing and particularly delicious lightly chilled.
