Puglia

Puglia, in the heel of southern Italy, is a major wine-producing region renowned for its warm Mediterranean climate, abundant sunshine and long-established viticultural traditions. Its flat and gently rolling landscapes, limestone and clay soils, and cooling coastal influences create favourable conditions for producing ripe, richly flavoured wines.

The region is particularly known for Primitivo, Negroamaro and Nero di Troia, which produce full-bodied reds with generous fruit and spice. Puglia also makes increasingly impressive white and rosé wines, including those from Fiano and Verdeca. Traditionally associated with high-volume production, the region has undergone a significant shift towards quality-focused winemaking, with producers increasingly emphasising indigenous varieties, vineyard expression, sustainability and premium bottlings.
