Polpo alla pignata
Polpo alla Pignata is a Salento octopus stew, slow-cooked in terracotta with tomato, onion, olives and bay until the flesh gives way under a spoon. The dish belongs to the Puglian seaside table, where the pignata concentrates the sauce and lends a faint earthy note. A chilled Salice Salentino rosato or a fresh Verdeca-based white keeps the tomato and brine in line without flattening the octopus.
