The wine region of Puglia, located in the southeast of Italy, is a land of geographical and climatic contrasts that gives rise to wines as varied as they are captivating. Nicknamed the "Heel of the Boot," Puglia enjoys a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters, providing ideal conditions for viticulture. Traditionally, this region is known for its lush and fruity red wines, notably Primitivo and Negroamaro, which dominate the wine landscape.

In addition to reds, the region also produces fresh and aromatic white wines from local grapes like Fiano and Verdeca, as well as elegant rosés. Exploring the wines of Puglia is an immersion in a rich history and ancestral know-how, while discovering a wide array of flavors that appeal to both newcomers and seasoned wine enthusiasts.
