Valle D'Itria Verdeca IGT - Chakra Verde - Giovanni Aiello 2024

The Valle D'Itria Verdeca IGT "Chakra Verde" by Giovanni Aiello represents a pure and fascinating expression of one of Puglia's most interesting native varieties: Verdeca. This white wine stands out for its freshness and vibrant minerality, reflecting the unique terroir of the Valle d'Itria, an area famously rich in limestone soils and influenced by a microclimate that benefits from proximity to the sea.

In appearance, "Chakra Verde" presents a bright straw yellow color, with greenish highlights hinting at its youth and freshness. On the nose, it offers an aromatic bouquet intertwining notes of white-fleshed fruits like apple and pear, with nuances of white flowers and a slight touch of aromatic herbs, demonstrating the typical characteristics of Verdeca.

On the palate, freshness is the undisputed star. The well-balanced acidity combines with a medium structure that makes the wine surprisingly persistent. Flavors of fresh fruit blend with a light minerality reminiscent of wet stones, typical of limestone-rich growth areas. This white is best served chilled between 8-10°C, excellent as an aperitif or paired with light appetizers, fish dishes, or vegetarian cuisine.

Giovanni Aiello's "Chakra Verde" is not only an excellent choice for those seeking a wine that faithfully interprets the Verdeca varietal, but also for those looking for a wine that speaks of its territory with sincerity and authenticity. A true gem of the Valle d'Itria, capable of offering a sip of Puglia in every glass.
