A useful counterpoint to Puglia's generous reds, the native Verdeca grape is crisp, refreshing and marine-tinged. This example from the Produttori di Manduria cooperative delivers a nose of grapefruit and artichoke, while the palate is engaging, lightly olive oily, with a hint of green olive brine and caper. Bone-dry with brisk acidity and nice length, it finishes gently herbal with a note of lemon thyme. It seems made for a whole sea bass baked with tomatoes, black olives and wedges of fennel.
