Fresh Puglian Verdeca with lemon peel, orange blossom and a savoury herbal finish

A distinctive white from Puglia made entirely from Verdeca, one of the region’s characterful native grapes. Fermented and matured in stainless steel to preserve freshness, it combines citrus and floral aromas with a savoury, mineral palate and an intriguing herbal finish. Bright, dry and persistent, this is an excellent introduction to a lesser-known southern Italian variety.

Tasting Notes: Orange blossom and lemon peel with hints of rosemary and sage. Fresh, savoury and mineral, with a persistent herbal finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with shellfish, seafood, grilled white fish, vegetable antipasti, delicate cheeses and white meats.

ABV: 12.5%

Grape Blend: Verdeca 100%

Region: Puglia

Azienda Agricola Frisino Francesco is a Puglian producer working with regional grapes including Verdeca, Primitivo and Negroamaro. The Legami range highlights these varieties in a fresh, contemporary style.

ABV: 12.5

Puglia

Puglia is a region of Italy on the southern coast, known as the ‘heel’ of the ‘boot’ of Italy. Visitors can enjoy a piece of everything in Puglia from the Baroque streets in ‘The Florence in the South’ Lecce to the longest coastline in Italy and the unique stone-built, hobbit-style Trullo huts in Alberobello.

This is all dominated by the region’s most treasured source of income, olives. Puglia produces 40% of Italy’s olive oil, making it one of the largest in the world. This oil is used on pastas that are native to the region such as orechiette (little ears) which get their name from their distinctive shape. Orechiette is used in dishes such as orecchiette alle cime di rapa, a simple pasta that combines olive oil, pecorino and cime di rapa (a relative of the humble broccoli).

The most widely grown wine grape in the region is Negroamaro – literally ‘black bitter’. It is hardly grown outside the region and is used to produce some of Puglian’s best wines like Salice Salentino. Primitivo is also a very popular variety, producing rich, high alcohol red wines.
