100% Verdeca from Puglia, Italy. Organic.

"I sipped on this easy-drinking white from coastal Puglia while steaming carrots and yellow zucchini for my infant son. I planned to serve the wine with my dinner—tilapia, simply seasoned, and baked in olive oil and lemon (my go-to preparation in a pinch). Faraone is a snappy, slightly chalky bianco that matched well with the flaky fish. Neither overpowered the other, and the wine tasted clean and crisp. I also enjoyed it alongside the baby’s veggies!" -- Jane Augustine
