Story and Longevity

The name CURTIRUSSI hints at the red colors of the Apulian earth, despite being a white wine. Verdeca, harvested late in October, is processed with a short maceration to maximize aromatic complexity and structure. Resting in steel maintains the clarity of the fruit. It is a **ready-to-drink wine**, best enjoyed within **1-3 years** of the vintage to fully capture its fragrance and freshness.
