Wine tours in Puglia: wine holidays, wine tastings, wine vacations in Puglia (Apulia) Southern Italy
Puglia and Southern Italy are becoming more and more famous for their wines and wineris. Many wine makers from Puglia have been focusing on high quality wine for the past years and the results are very much appreciated around the world. Puglia now counts some of the most famous wineries and wine producers in Italy!
When travelling through Puglia, you cannot fail to notice the long rows of grape-heavy vines that stretch off into the distance and make a riot of color. Puglia is one of Italy’s most fertile regions. The principal areas are Lecce, Martina Franca, Manduria and Salice Salentino. The flagship red grape is Primitivo, a distant cousin of California’s Zinfandel grape. Negroamaro is another fantastic red grape, very well appreciated also among the female world. You’ll also come across fantastic white wines in the hill areas of Puglia: Locorotondo D.O.C. white wine near the Valle Itria; Bombino bianco in the Castel del Montel area, Leverano and Salice Salentino DOC.
