Masseria Li Veli Askos Verdeca 2020 Magnum

Masseria Li Veli Askos Verdeca 2020 Magnum is a characterful, terroir-driven white wine from Salento in Puglia, offering a refined expression of the native Verdeca grape. The magnum format helps preserve freshness while allowing the wine to evolve more slowly and harmoniously over time, making it a particularly appealing choice for both immediate enjoyment and cellaring.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a clear golden straw color. The nose is layered and expressive, with ripe pear, citrus, white flowers, herbs, almond, and a subtle mineral thread that reflects its coastal origins. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with well-integrated acidity, a lightly creamy texture, and impressive structure. The finish is long and persistent, leaving notes of citrus zest, nuts, and a delicate saline mineral edge. It is enjoyable now, but the balance and magnum format give it added aging potential.

Production
The vineyards are located in Salento, in the southern part of Puglia, where limestone and clay soils, a Mediterranean climate, and cooling winds from both the Adriatic and Ionian Seas help maintain a balance between ripeness and freshness. Masseria Li Veli focuses on local grape varieties and sustainable practices to express the authentic character of the region. Vinification is aimed at building depth and complexity, with partial fermentation in wood followed by oak aging and further bottle maturation.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with grilled fish, shellfish, seafood pasta, risottos, roast chicken, and Mediterranean vegetable dishes. Serve it at 10–12 °C, and while decanting is not essential, a short aeration can help open up its aromatic complexity, especially if the bottle has been stored for some time.
