Puglia

NL
Apulië is de grootste producent van het zuiden. Er komen goede witte wijnen en rosés vandaan, maar rood voert de boventoon.
De negroamaro en de malvasia nera geven bitter zoet fruit en aardse tanines aan de rode wijnen van Salice Salentino Rosso.
De Primitivo di Manduria is een robuste, kruidige wijn.
Onze favorieten zijn de Elegia van Vini Manduria en Sharav van Santi Dimitri.

Apulia produces more wine than any other Italian region usually making up around 17% of the national total.
It also competes with Sicily for first place as grape producer.
In recent years, Pugliese vintners have changed their views and tastes and are pursuing wines that effectively balance sweetness, acid, alcohol content and density.
Apulia counts 25 DOC wines including the Primitivo di Manduria,
The Accademia dei Racemi, an association that brings together vintners, agronomists and oenologists is dedicated to promoting and enhancing the quality of wine production in the region.
A special mention should be made of Salice Salentino, a powerful red produced in the Lecce province.
It is made primarily with Negro Amaro and has gained an enthusiastic following abroad because of the excellent ratio quality-price.
