Details
Chardonnay and Verdeca walk into a barrique... and three months later, they emerge like Italy’s answer to a well-dressed power couple - complex and low-key fabulous. This white is all about white grapefruit swagger, lemon peel zip, a sprinkle of dried herbs, and a whisper of acacia that says, "Yes, I read poetry in my spare time." It’s structured but chill, with a sunny southern soul and just enough oak to make it smooth, not flashy. Basically, it’s your new favourite dinner guest—cool, charismatic, and totally unexpected.

In the sun-drenched heart of Puglia, where olive groves stretch to the horizon and the breeze smells faintly of wild herbs and sea spray, you’ll find Tenuta Viglione - a family-run winery with deep roots and serious vision where the Zullo family have been cultivating vineyards since 1937. Whilst Primitivo has made it's name of the hall-of-fame, Puglia still holds a few aces up its sun-tanned sleeve - grapes like Susumaniello and Negroamaro, local treasures that are just getting their global moment. This is where Costellazioni comes in: Tenuta Viglione’s premium label, crafted to showcase these varieties at their most elegant, expressive, and celestial (yes, the name literally means constellations). Each wine in the Costellazioni range is a nod to the stars above and the soil below - sustainable, wild yeast, organically grown, and vegan. It’s serious wine with a soul - and a lot of swagger! So while we can’t teleport you to a lounge chair by the pool at the Viglione wine resort (believe us, we wish we could), we can instead bring a bit of that Puglian magic to your glass. So the stars really do align!

Pairing guide
This wine is basically the friend who brings the perfect side dish and helps do the dishes - bright, balanced, and down for anything. It’s a natural with food that’s fresh, herby, and maybe just a little fancy (like in a “I foraged this myself” kind of way). Think: lemon-herb grilled chicken, spaghetti alle vongole, because shellfish and sass were made for each other. Fennel and orange salad with a cheeky crumble of goat cheese works too. Or even a ricotta and herb tart. Basically, if it hangs out in the Mediterranean pantry or garden, this wine wants to party with it. Bonus points for sunshine and a table that wobbles slightly.

Wine region
Puglia, Italy
Puglia is a wine region in the "heel" of Italy that is known for its red, white, and rosé wines. The full-bodied red wines are often made with Negroamaro and Primitivo grapes, while the whites are usually made with Verdeca and Fiano grapes. Puglia has a hot, sunny climate which helps the grapes ripen fully and gives the wines a rich flavour. The region is also home to some unique grape varieties, like Nero di Troia and Bombino Nero. So, if you're a fan of Italian wine, definitely give Puglia a try! Historically Puglia has been better known for its quantity of wine over its quality. But thanks to a number of quality-focused producers, the region is turning that narrative around.
