Verdese

The Verdese vine has been registered in the National Registry of Grapevine varieties since 1996. It is a white grape variety that takes its name probably from the color of the grapes, greenish. It is a native variety of Como and Lecce, and is part of the IGT Terre Lariane. Very few wineries produce wine in the Verdese purity, and it is much easier to find it in blends of the varieties present in the same areas.
