Puglia

Introduction to Puglia

Puglia is "the heel" of the boot of peninsular Italy. It is bordered by both the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, giving it one of the longest coastlines of any region in Italy. The flagship red grape of Puglia is Primitivo, a distant cousin of California?s Zinfandel grape. The wines made with Primitivo are luscious, heavy and definitely "food wines". Another successful and important red wine from Puglia is Salice Salentino, a powerful red wine made primarily with Negro Amaro. We are very proud to work with Cantele, a family-run estate in the heart of Puglia. The wines are elegant and offer great value for money.
