The Verdeca varietal is a white wine grape variety that is predominantly grown in the Puglia region of southern Italy. It is a relatively old grape, with origins that can be traced back to the 13th century. The Verdeca grape is typically used to produce dry, white wines, though it is also blended with other varieties to create sparkling wines. It is known for its high acidity, which gives the wines a crisp, refreshing character. Flavor profiles often include notes of pear, apple, citrus, and almond, with a light to medium body. Despite its high quality, Verdeca is relatively unknown and underrated outside of its local region.
