JK.14 Alice Verdeca Salento IGT 2023

From the warm, coastal vineyards of Salento in southern Italy, this beautifully expressive Verdeca is part of the JK.14 collection’s celebration of native varietals. The 2023 vintage is vinified entirely in stainless steel to capture the grape’s natural brightness and perfume. Verdeca thrives in Puglia’s sun-drenched climate, and here it’s presented in a youthful, pure style named after Alice—one of the JK.14 family's inspirations.

Bouquet
The nose is alive with notes of lemon zest, white peach, and jasmine, layered with hints of wild herbs and a touch of tropical fruit. It’s aromatic, breezy, and inviting.

Palate
Fresh and vibrant with crisp citrus, pear, and a stony mineral edge. There’s a slight creaminess to the texture that adds finesse, while the finish is clean and mouthwatering with a subtle saline lift—a nod to its coastal origins.

Food Pairing
Delicious with grilled fish, herby pasta dishes, or prawn risotto. It also pairs beautifully with creamy cheeses, vegetable antipasti, or simply as an aperitif with olives and crusty bread.
