Puglia is the heel of Italy's boot, and is one of its most fertile regions. The terroir is superbly suited to wine-making and the Primitivo is one of the most highly regarded red wines produced in here. Benefiting from one the longest coastlines of any region in Italy, the cooling effect of being so near the sea also allows for successful white grape cultivation. Both the white and red wines have that typically southern Italian fruit expression whilst retaining the bone-dry charm that often defines this region.
