This week we head to Italy for a line-up of refreshing sips, from the Alpine north to the southern sun of Sicily. Each shows off the versatility of the country’s unoaked whites, with citrus and orchard notes, sometimes nutty, floral or herbal hints. Perfect for fussy guests or mixed company – not too crisp, not too full – they work with diverse menus, from light appetisers to creamy risottos, their bright acidity cutting through rich dishes.
With attractive almond hints lifted by lemon pith, a touch of acacia flower and saline freshness, this is ideal for apéro hour – try with tomato bruschetta, olives and salty crisps.
