Castelgufo Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi 2021
Italy’s diversity of delicious white wine varietals tends to be overshadowed by the popularity of the country’s red wines. Verdicchio is a fantastic partner for fish, especially on hot days when we fire up the grill for something hearty, or opt for a cool, refreshing seafood salad instead. Expect aromas of peach blossom and honeysuckle over flavors of apricot and wild sage. Certified sustainable. Alcohol by volume: 13 percent. Bottle weight: 410 grams (Light).
Imported by Vinimundi. Distributed locally by Craft Wine & Spirits.
Jezebel is a label from Willful Wine Co. of Oregon, designed in a fruity style. Black cherries and blackberries seasoned with baking spices kiss the palate with a chewy texture and a juicy, jammy finish. ABV: 13.5 percent. Body weight: 480 grams (light).
