Puglia | Red Wine
Varied coasts, manifold cultural treasures and wonderful, powerful wines characterize Puglia with its capital Bari, important port and university city. The name goes back to the Pugliese; a tribe of the Oscians. The area is one of the oldest wine-growing regions in the world, as the Phoenicians and Greeks planted vines here 3,000 years ago. The Romans particularly appreciated the wine from Tarentum (port city of Taranto) and the poet Horace (65-8 BC) described the area as a place of 'eternal spring'. Unlike the other southern regions of Italy, there are hardly any mountains, but the landscape consists of plateaus and flatlands. The climate is hot and dry. The soils are mainly limestone, clay and sandstone.
Among the most famous red wine grape varieties of the Puglia region are Negroamaro, Primitivo, Nero di Troia and Bombino Nero. - Gerardo [TS07/22]
"The most and best wines are still produced in Salento, although it should be noted that the spicy, evolutionary reds based on Negroamaro are often more popular with foreign audiences than in Italy itself. For several years now, Primitivo has been making its mark on the Puglia wine scene. Especially in Manduria, on the Ionian coast near Taranto, and in Murgia, especially in Gioia del Colle, new Primitivo styles have emerged alongside the traditional ones. On the Adriatic side of Salento, too, highly interesting wines are currently being obtained from these grapes." - Slow Wine
