Fit Turkey Wrap

Clean, dry with expressive citrus. Light to medium bodied.

Chill the Vermentino to 8–10°C (46–50°F). If already chilled, place the bottle in an ice bucket for 10–15 minutes before serving to maintain temperature.

Open the bottle 10–15 minutes before serving. Pour a small taste to check for any off aromas.

Pour 100–150 ml into each white wine glass, filling about one-third to allow aromatic expression. Hold the glass by the stem and swirl gently to release citrus and mineral notes.

Cut the lemon and lime into very thin slices or half-moons. Tuck one slice into the rim or float it in the glass if you want a visual accent and a subtle citrus lift.

Add one small thyme sprig per glass and gently clap it between your hands to release oils before placing it in the wine. This accentuates the wine's herbal, Mediterranean character without overpowering it.

Place the roasted Marcona almonds in a small bowl and set them at room temperature. They provide a rich, slightly oily counterpoint to the wine's bright acidity.

Prepare almonds

Arrange the thinly sliced Manchego or Pecorino on a small board. Drizzle crostini lightly with extra-virgin olive oil and grind a little black pepper over the cheese if desired. Serve alongside the wine.

Arrange cheese and crostini

Serve the snacks alongside glasses of chilled Vermentino. Encourage tasting the wine first, then pairing a bite to experience how the wine's citrus and saline notes lift the food.
