White wine from Puglia
Freshly dry white wine from Italy with the scent of fine yellow fruit and a little toast. The taste is smooth, pleasant and persistent. Very tasty with fish pasta and salads.
Description
The southern Italian Apulia is best known for the excellent value for money of its red wines. But in recent years there have also been plenty of experiments with planting white grapes. One problem, however, is the fairly high summer temperature in Apulia, which makes the grapes easily overripe and therefore retain little acid.
This is especially true for the chardonnay, which many growers in Apulia regard as the ideal grape despite this disadvantage. The dynamic Vecchia Torre cooperative of the town of Leverano thinks otherwise and in 2006 planted the vermentino on a grape variety that is highly resistant to heat.
The small vineyard of less than ten hectares is located between two hills, which means that there is almost always a cooling wind. As a result, the temperature is lower and the vermentino retains the desired fresh taste and fruitiness. In addition, substantial investments have been made in equipment that cools the tanks with white wine sustainably, powered by electricity from solar panels.
Vecchia Torre also limits the yield in the vineyard, which gives the wine a special quality. This small-scale produced white wine has been very successful since its introduction and tastes significantly more exclusive than the price suggests.

Heerlijk wijn mooi vol met klein frisje bij afdronk die absoluut niet zuur is. Wij drinken de wijn bij zeetong.
Deze wijn is aan mijn bestelling toegevoegd omdat een wijn die ik had besteld niet op voorraad was. Hier ben ik de dag na mijn bestelling door een medewerker over gebeld en zij stelde voor om in plaats daarvan een lekker wijntje uit te kiezen. Het kiezen van deze vervangende wijn is haar goed gelukt. De wijn is heerlijk vol met een frisje we hebben het samen met zeetong gegeten maar op zichzelf smaakt de wijn ook meer dan prima.
