Verdeca Salento IGT Petraluce - Castello Monaci is a lively and fresh expression of the Verdeca grape, carefully cultivated in the sunny lands of Salento, in the heart of Puglia. This white wine, produced by the renowned Castello Monaci winery, reflects the estate's commitment to valorising the native Apulian varieties, combining modern viticultural techniques with the regional winemaking tradition to enhance the unique characteristics of this grape variety.

Petraluce stands out for its bright straw yellow color with greenish reflections, announcing the freshness and liveliness that characterize this wine. On the nose, it offers an intensely fruity and floral aromatic bouquet, where notes of green apple, citrus fruits, white flowers and a hint of aromatic herbs dominate, which contribute to a surprising and inviting olfactory complexity.

On the palate it reveals an extraordinary freshness and minerality, with a perfect balance between acidity and body. The flavors of fresh fruit blend with a light salinity typical of wines produced near the sea, leading to a clean, persistent and pleasantly savory finish, which invites another sip.

Ideal as an aperitif or paired with light dishes, this wine pairs beautifully with seafood appetizers, fish and seafood dishes, fresh salads and delicate cheeses. Its versatility also makes it a perfect companion to accompany a variety of occasions, from informal dinners to summer aperitifs on the terrace.
