Domaine Alzitella Blanc 2020

Classical ballet might not be traditional training for a winemaker. But when the wine tastes this good, perhaps it should be! When her husband passed away, Sophie Gangolfe didn’t hesitate in swapping one dream for another – leaving the Paris School of Dance and heading to manage the Corsican vineyard he loved so much. There, the grapes ripen to perfection thanks to the heat and cooling ocean breezes, producing light-on-their-feet whites, such as this Vermentino. If you’re a lover of fresh, snappy Sauvignon Blanc, this is a more adventurous alternative! It’s elegant and thirst-quenchingly moreish with a citrusy, mineral core and subtle nuttiness. Serve it chilled to sip on solo, or pair it with light dishes, such as a seafood platter.
