Puglia, Italy

Verdeca

Fresh, zesty and just a little bit different — this southern Italian white is a proper crowd-pleaser. Verdeca’s a local Puglian grape, and in Talò’s hands it’s all citrus peel, passionfruit, vanilla and a touch of almond, with a clean, crisp finish and a gentle herby lift. It’s light without being bland and bright without being sharp.

Brilliant with grilled courgettes, seafood pasta, or just a handful of salty snacks. Chill it down and enjoy a little slice of the Med, no plane ticket needed.
