Messapia is the ancient name for the tribe who inhabited the are that is now Salento. This wine is produced entirely with Verdeca grapes, a rare puglian variety that is not related to the similarli named Verdecchio. It used to be the grape of local Vermouth production and is also used in the Lacryma Christi wines of Vesuvius, wines that take advantage of the grape’s neutral flavour at full ripeness. When harvested early however, this grape can be particularly vibrant and citrusy, with beautiful herbal/floral contrasting topnotes. Leone de Castris perfoms a selective harvest at the end of summer, then cold macerates the fruit before a cool ferment in steel. The wine initially ages on the lees for about 3 months, followed by further time in bottle before release.

Delicately pale in colour, the nose opens with hints of wild flowers, well supported by notes of bergamot and pineapple. In the mouth, it shows an excellent flavour and a refined freshness, with lingering exotic fruits on the persistent finish. Partner with seafood and fresh chevre.

“Pale straw yellow with greenish reflections. Very open on the nose. Jasmine, elderberry and lime. Light glacier ice on the finish. Very fresh on the palate with good fruit sweetness. Persistent fruit on the palate. Great fun.” 92 points, Falstaff

93 points, Luca Maroni

Order 1 size larger.
Size: X-Large, Color: Blue White Plaid
Nice shirt. The size is not accurate by any stretch of the imagination. I wear size xl in shirts except for this one. An xl fits like a large. Other than that I like the shirt. I would've given it 5 stars if not for the sizing. I'll give away this one and order an xxl. Just order a size above what you wear and you'll be happy.

Satisfied with color and fit
Size: Small, Color: Light Purple
For the money, this is a good shirt. True, the material is a bit thin and there is a feeling of 'fragility' (loose threads here and there) but the color is nice, the texture is appropriate. The sizing is what I call "New American". I was a medium my whole life but supersizing has made me into a small. I haven't changed, Americans have grown bigger. I am six feet tall and a bit (180+ cm) and weigh 155 pounds (70kg and a bit). The small fits me just fine everywhere but the shoulders are just barely wide enough. If you have slightly wider shoulders but are similar to me otherwise, this may be too tight for you in that one place.

Fits too tight at waist.
Size: XX-Large, Color: Wine
Quality of product satisfactory, however size labeling incorrect. I ordered a XXL that is too tight at the waist. It should be labeled XXL Trim.
