Arnaldo Caprai Grecante Grechetto Colli Martani 2022

Arnaldo Caprai Grecante Grechetto Colli Martani is a refined and expressive white wine from Umbria, Italy, made exclusively from the Grechetto grape. This medium-bodied dry white is vibrant and aromatic, offering bright flavours of tangerine, ruby red grapefruit, and fresh herbs. Notes of spice and a subtle smokiness add complexity, all balanced by refreshing acidity and a lightly chalky, mouthwatering finish. Aged briefly in stainless steel before resting in bottle, this elegant Grechetto is perfect as an aperitif or paired with fresh salads and lighter seafood dishes.
