TERRA GIALLA
igp bianco Veronese
Who is Terra Gialla for me?
“Her rapid gait echoed the rhythm of the thoughts that crowded her mind, as she walked swiftly through the shrubs and scents along the path. Passing the wall of tuff rock, she brushed against it and felt it crumble under her touch. She rubbed the yellow pow-der between her fingers and realised how strong yet fragile both she and it were.”

Terra Gialla displays an intense golden hue, conferred by macerating the Garganega and Char-donnay grapes for a few hours on their skins. Juicy notes of yellow peaches emanate from the glass, accompanied by floral, broom-like nuances. A citrusy hint of citron zest, a refreshing little bunch of herbal aromas (pennyroyal and marjoram in particular), and a sensation of toasted almonds complete the bouquet. Its flavour is clean and lively, with a marked tanginess and freshness that tend to have the upper hand over the wine’s warm, alcoholic elements, making it supple and easy to drink. The limpid finish offers echoes of juicy yellow fruit and appealing hints of bitter almonds. This wine’s great freshness make it ideal for quite fatty foods, such as fried vegetables in bat-ter, soppressa (Veronese salami), or a tasty, buttery risotto.
