Brezza – Verdeca PGI Apulia
Verdeca is among the main grapes of our territory, grown and shaped in its image. The grape is constantly cradled by a breeze that blows in the Canale di Pirro: fresh in the early morning and still caressing during the night. This is the secret to obtain healthy and ripe grape rich in extraordinary aromas.
