Conti Leopardi 2006 WHITE Italy

You'd normally have to move in very fashionable circles to have a wine made for you by the celebrated Leopardi family ... but long-established friendships and contacts have helped open important doors! We're delighted to offer this exclusive Verdicchio Classico (one of Italy's most prized whites) created by Pierfrancesco the modern day Count Leopardi. The Leopardis have an illustrious history - poets artists and for 500 years celebrated winemakers. A memorable cellar visit from our staff convinced The Count of your enthusiasm for great Italian whites ... so he set about making you one of Italy's most authentic styles. This is the classic white of the unspoilt Marche region - seldom seen here especially at such a low price. And this special project was blessed by the greatest Italian vintage in living memory! "Light straw colour with golden glints. Subtle pear almond and elderflower aromas and elegant citrus flavours. Fresh and minerally now but like good Chablis will develop a nutty richness with age."
