Monte Schiavo Ruviano Verdicchio 2011

• Verdicchio - Verdi-what? It's one of Italy's many indigenous white grape varieties.
• A slightly green-yellow hue to the grape skins imparts a lovely lemon-gold colour to the finished wine - very attractive in the glass.
• The altitude and climate of Marche is ideal for growing this citrus fruit-scented white.

In the heart of Italy's Marche region, Monte Schiavo are creating wonderfully innovative and flavoursome whites. This is a stylish and concentrated Verdicchio with fresh, intense aromas of grapefruit and lime, as well as honeyed stone-fruit. The palate is fresh and fruity; very approachable, with apple, pear and ripe stone fruit. A mouth-filling minerality adds to the complexity and weight. Try this with oysters, or langoustines. Deft enough to be a great aperitif too, if your're without a shucker.

The white grape cousin of Pinot Noir, this is one relative tired of hiding in the shadows. Twin this French beauty with a light snack or enjoy it on its own. It is both minerally and spicy with the fruity touch of peach and citrus.
