The Apulia region, located in the southeast of Italy, is renowned for its rich and diverse wine production, benefiting from the IGP (Protected Geographical Indication) designation. With its picturesque Mediterranean landscape consisting of gentle hills and coastal plains, Apulia enjoys an ideal climate for vine cultivation, characterised by hot, dry summers and mild winters. The varied soils, ranging from limestone to alluvial deposits, contribute to the complexity of the wines produced in the region.
Apulia is especially known for its robust red wines made from indigenous grape varieties such as Primitivo and Negroamaro, which yield generous wines with an intense aromatic profile and silky tannins. These wines are perfect for pairing with dishes rich in Mediterranean flavours. The region also produces excellent white wines from the Verdeca grape, which are fresh and balanced, as well as delightful rosés.
For wine enthusiasts, the Apulia region offers a wonderful opportunity to discover authentic and expressive wines that capture the very essence of this sunny and characterful land. Visiting Apulia means immersing oneself in an ancient wine-growing tradition combined with modern innovation.
