  • Verdello stands among Italy’s plethora of grape varieties, distinguished by its verdant berries, a trait shared with its counterparts such as Verdeca, Verdicchio, or Verduzzo. Despite its botanical kinship, Verdello was long believed to be unrelated to these green grapes.

  • Historical records suggest that Verdello likely made its debut in Italy during the mid-19th century, possibly introduced by Hungarian monks who resettled at the Franciscan Sant’ Urbano monastery.

  • Noteworthy for its late ripening season, often extending into October, Verdello boasts a distinctive attribute of high natural acidity, bestowing upon its wines a refreshing vibrancy and longevity.

Verdello finds its place predominantly in blends, making encounters with a pure Verdello wine quite rare and remarkable. Contrasting with its more renowned counterpart, Vermentino, Verdello offers a distinct profile characterized by its lower saline notes and a bounty of ripe, fruity aromas and flavors. Delightful hints of green apple, luscious ripe pear, zesty citrus, delicate white flowers, and a whisper of chlorophyll dance across the senses.

While it exudes an aura of simplicity and freshness, Verdello surprises with a depth of character that belies its unassuming nature. Each sip unveils layers of complexity, revealing the grape’s innate charm and unique expression, making it a captivating discovery for the discerning palate.
