is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
What is this wine?
Il Verro is a small, certified-organic winery in Alto Casertano, northern Campania, dedicated to rescuing rare native grapes. One of their specialties is Pallagrello Bianco, a once-prized variety of the Bourbon royal court in the 18th century, nearly lost until its recent revival. Verginiano is Il Verro’s pure Pallagrello Bianco, crafted to showcase this ancient grape’s freshness and character.
Why get this wine?
Very few estates produce Pallagrello Bianco, making this a rare chance to taste a grape with deep Campanian history. Il Verro has become a reference point for the variety, combining organic farming with a focus on authenticity. For adventurous white wine drinkers, this is a distinctive, small-production gem that overdelivers in personality and value.
What does this wine taste like?
Bright and textured, with notes of citrus, green apple, and stone fruit layered over herbs, almond, and a saline mineral streak. Crisp acidity and a subtle roundness give both freshness and depth.
When should you drink this wine?
Drink now through 2026 to enjoy its vibrant character. A versatile match for seafood, fresh cheeses, or classic Campanian dishes like mozzarella di bufala and vegetable pastas. Serve chilled.
