Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Discovery, Verdeca 2022 (Puglia)
This dry white Verdeca made from grapes grown in Puglia in the heel of Italy is part of Sainsbury’s new Discovery selection. Although the grape variety is not very well-known, it is an interesting aromatic wine to explore.
With rose blossom, honey and citrus notes on the nose, and flavours of lemon and peach on the palate, this is a refreshing wine with a smooth, rich, almost buttery, mouthfeel and a lingering finish.
This is a very good value wine which is perfect as an apéritif and also pairs well with a seafood, chicken or creamy pasta dish.
Available from Sainsbury’s (£8.50)
