The origin of Verdeca is shrouded in mystery. The only certainty is that this grape variety has been cultivated in various areas of Puglia for a long time. It is the most popular white grape variety in the region. Like many other grape varieties, it is believed that Verdeca comes from nearby Greece. Its name derives from the greenish color of the grape cluster, which is also reflected in the color of the wine.

The typical geographical indication, known by the acronym IGT, represents the third of the five wine classifications in Italy. This designation indicates wines produced in generally large areas but following specific requirements. The IGT is important because it represents the first step of the pyramid that distinguishes wine without indication from wine with indication, guaranteeing superior quality.
