Puglia

Often referred to as the ‘heel’ of Italy, the southern Italian region of Puglia is surrounded on three sides by the Mediterranean Sea. The region’s hot, Mediterranean climate makes it wells suited to ripening black grapes, such as the Primitivo (Zinfandel) and Negroamaro varieties amongst others.

Primitivo tends to produce wonderfully full-bodied dry reds, with high alcohol levels, bursting with black fruit character together with violet and liquorice complexity. For those with a sweeter tooth, the Primitivo variety is also used to make rich and powerful sweet wines, with honeyed, dried fruit character. A truly exciting region to discover!
