To drink : Reserve for the fall

While preparing supper

To whet your appetite, this Italian verdicchio will quickly become your favorite. This grape variety is cultivated in the Marche, on the country's east coast. You can smell citrus, lime and orange blossom in the glass. We also recognize the maritime influence with subtle iodine notes. On the taste buds, the lively and crunchy attack makes you smile. We taste the apple, and a touch of fresh herbs is reminiscent of sauvignon. Complex and delicious, at this price, it's hard to beat.

Velenosi Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico 2019, $ 15.65, (11155665)
