Verdicchio grape variety

Verdicchio is a very old white grape variety from Italy, which is mainly grown in central Italy. The grapes produce dry to semi-dry white wines with a light yellow colour and a fresh, fruity taste. The flavours are reminiscent of green apples, pears, citrus fruits and hay meadows. Depending on the ageing process, notes of almonds, honey and minerals can also be added. Verdicchio wines often have a distinctly strong acidity and are also suitable for sparkling wines. They are ideal as an accompaniment to fish dishes, seafood, salads and light starters. Verdicchio wines have become increasingly well-known and popular in recent years and are among the top white wines in Italy.
