100% Verdeca. (Puglian white varietal that was brought to Southern Italy by the Greeks.) Bright straw gold color with a few green highlights. Aromas of tropical and stone fruits, wild herbs and white flowers. Flavors of peach, pineapple, mango and lime fruit with additional flavors of chalk and those wild herbs. Medium plus mineral based finish and medium body. Extremely vibrant (electric) acidity and intensely fruit forward. No sign of oak aging. Best with food. — 9 days ago

Aromatic in that “saucy” baijiu way, nutty, yeasty and savory rice. Salinity in the background - much enhanced by (liquid) olives! Also, why has no one made a dirty (with olive juice) sherry spritzer yet?? @ Mercado Little Spain — 2 months ago

This dark wine has a fruity nose of blackberry and plum, but there are some more savory notes as well. Black pepper, cigar box and black olive also come through. On the palate, licorice and plums are in the forefront of one of the fruitier flavor profiles I have tasted in Apulian Primitivos. The 16% alcohol is not as overpowering as I imagined it would be. The tannins are fairly forceful and the acidity is refreshing. This wine drinks really well and will pair nicely with a marbled rib eye steak. — 5 years ago

Ruby colored liquid in my glass. Hints of cherry pie on the nose. Flavors of tart cherries, red plums and baking spices. Beautiful acidity. A very balanced wine. This is my last regular bottle of CP wine. I do have a VS Pinot which I will sit on for a while. Glad other wineries are making really good wines from the Clos Pepe vineyard. — 8 years ago
