Cantine Madonna delle Grazie 'Leuconoe' - Bianco

This 2022 white wine hails from Basilicata, Italy. Giuseppe Latorraca founded Cantine Madonna delle Grazie in 2003, building his winery near the 16th - century Madonna delle Grazie monastery to honor its history. His family has been cultivating nearby vineyards since the early 1900s, so he's well - versed in winegrowing. Today, he, his wife, and sons jointly manage 8.5 hectares of vineyards. The wines pay tribute to the nearby Roman city of Venosa, the home of the poet Horace. This particular white wine is a special nod to Horace's famous 'Carpe Diem' poem. Made from 100% Aglianico, it offers unique flavors of lime, white peach, herbs, and wet stone. It pairs perfectly with shellfish or appetizers.

To enjoy this white wine, simply chill it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving. Pour it into a white wine glass and take your time to savor the unique flavors. When pairing, go for shellfish like shrimp or crab, or light appetizers. Keep the wine in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. If you have an opened bottle, make sure to seal it properly and refrigerate it. It's best to consume the remaining wine within a couple of days for the best taste.
