Winery Tasting Notes

Appearance

The wine presents a pale straw colour with hints of green, showcasing vibrancy and clarity. The liquid is clear and bright, with a light, watery rim indicating its freshness.

Nose

On the nose, the wine offers a delicate bouquet of aromas. Initial notes of green apple, lemon zest, and pear are prominent, mingling with subtle hints of white peach and floral undertones of jasmine and honeysuckle. There is a slight minerality that suggests a stony or flinty character, adding complexity to the aromatic profile.

Palate

The palate is clean and crisp, with a refreshing acidity that invigorates the taste buds. Flavors of citrus fruits, particularly lime and grapefruit, dominate the palate, accompanied by nuances of green apple and underripe pineapple. The wine's minerality carries through, providing a pleasing, almost saline quality that enhances its dry profile.

Finish

The finish is long and zesty, leaving a lingering impression of citrus and a touch of green herbs, like lemongrass and fresh thyme. The wine's structure is well-balanced, with the acidity providing a backbone that ensures a lively and vibrant drinking experience.

Pairing

This Caverdella is like a classic dry white, with the age it pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, including fresh seafood, light salads, and goat cheese. It also complements Asian cuisine, particularly sushi and sashimi, as well as Mediterranean dishes. Simply put it’s a great white for the price, Enjoy.
