Della Volpaia 'Prelius' - Vermentino

This 2021 Vermentino hails from Italy. Named after the vineyard's spot on the ancient lake 'Prelius', this place was once an oasis that formed fertile soils. It inspired Benedictine Monks to build an abbey and start grape - growing. The 100% Vermentino wine offers a floral and stone - fruit aroma. On the palate, it bursts with flavors of ripe yellow apples, apricots, and a hint of pineapple, ending with a zesty lemon finish. A delicious food pairing for this Vermentino is fresh pesto sauce over pasta with grilled shrimp.

To enjoy this Della Volpaia 'Prelius' Vermentino, first, chill it in the refrigerator for about 1 - 2 hours. This will enhance its refreshing flavors. When pouring, do it gently to avoid disturbing any sediment. It's best served in a white wine glass to allow the aromas to develop. As for storage, keep it in a cool, dark place. If you have an opened bottle, seal it tightly and put it back in the fridge. It should stay good for 2 - 3 days. When it comes to food pairings, as mentioned, fresh pesto pasta with grilled shrimp is a great choice, but it also goes well with other seafood like oysters or light salads.
