Wines of Puglia
The 26 DOC wines of Puglia are the result of long work carried out by generations and generations in the field of enology.
At one time the excellent wines produced in this region were little known and even the same were used to “cut” other oenological products of the Italian regions, in particular, those characterized by low alcohol content.
The result was the production of excellent wines which, however, were often obtained thanks to a skillful mix between the different grapes of the vineyards scattered in different areas of the region.

In our beautiful region, it is possible to identify different geographical areas, from which we obtain great wines, many of which have obtained the coveted (and very important) DOC awards, but also IGT and DOCG, which also contribute to making the market perceive the quality of a wine product obtained according to ancient and traditional cultivation techniques.
Among the most appreciated proposals of the territory, it is certainly not possible to do without mentioning the sought-after Primitivo di Manduria, but also the Negroamaro from Terra d’Otranto and Castel del Monte.
