Vini di Puglia | Le fiere, gli eventi del vino pugliese nel mondo


RED GRAPES
	AGLIANICO This variety is usually associated with neighbouring Basilicata, but also has a long tradition in Apulia, where it is very important in Castel del Monte Doc, which specifically requires Aglianico red and rosé.
	ALEATICO This native vine is present in the whole region and produces a naturally sweet wine. Aleatico is also the name of the Doc wine which also uses Negroamaro, Malvasia Nera and Primitivo in lower percentages.
	BOMBINO NERO This variety is also known as "Bambino" or "Buonvino" and has a long history, with high productivity and abundant juice yields. It is mostly grown in Apulia, in the areas of Lizzano and Castel del Monte.
	MALVASIA NERA DI LECCE E BRINDISI This grape is very widespread in the Salento peninsula, from the Taranto area right across to the provinces of Brindisi and Lecce. It is used in the Lizzano, Brindisi, Squinzano, Salice Salentino, Leverano, Copertino, Nardò, Matino and Alezio Doc wines.
	MONTEPULCIANO This variety is originally from outside Apulia, but has found a perfect environment here. Montepulciano is very widespread in the province of Foggia, used in the following Doc wines: San Severo, Cacc'e Mmitte di Lucera, Ortanova, Rosso di Cerignola and Rosso Canosa, and also in the Castel del Monte and Lizzano doc wines, as well as in the Leverano, Copertino and Alezio Doc wines from the Salento.
	NEGROAMARO This grape is the symbol of wine production in the Salento area, which is increasingly well known and closely connected with this variety which is also becoming more popular in other areas of Apulia. Negroamaro is used in Rosso di Cerignola Doc, and also in Lizzano, Brindisi, Squinzano, Salice Salentino, Leverano, Copertino, Nardò, Galatina, Matino and Alezio Doc wines.
	NERO DI TROIA The area known as "Frederick's lands", which runs from the north of Bari province to the province of Foggia is best represented by Nero di Troia. This variety alone or blended with other varieties is used in the Castel del Monte, Cacc'e Mmitte di Lucera, Ortanova, Rosso di Cerignola, and Rosso Canosa Doc wines
	NOTARDOMENICO This rare variety is grown in the Upper Salento, mostly in the province of Brindisi, and is used to produce Ostuni Doc at a percentage of up to 15%.
	OTTAVIANELLO This is another example of a variety which has survived due to the persistence and passion of local growers. Ottavianello is grown in the province of Brindisi and is one of the varieties used in Ostuni Doc.
	PRIMITIVO DI GIOIA According to tradition, Primitivo was first planted by Benedictine monks around Gioia del Colle. Towards the end of the 1700s, Don Filippo Francesco Indellicati selected a clone and gave it the name "Primitivo"because of its early ripening. Primitivo di Gioia is the best known variety used in Gioia del Colle Doc.
	PRIMITIVO DI MANDURIA This is one of the world famous Apulian wine grapes. It originated near Gioia del Colle and found the best growing conditions around Manduria. Primitivo di Manduria Doc includes many towns in the province of Taranto and some in the province of Brindisi.
	SANGIOVESE Sangiovese did not originate in Apulia, but is widely cultivated in the region. It is used for San Severo, Cacc'e Mmitte di Lucera, Ortanova, Rosso di Cerignola and Rosso Canosa Doc wines, but also for those from Gioia del Colle and Lizzano, as well as for the Salento Doc wines - Brindisi, Squinzano, Leveranno, Copertino, Alezio and Matino.
	SUSUMANIELLO This variety is used in small percentages in Ostuni and Brindisi Doc wines, and in recent years has been rediscovered and used unblended to make wine. This is another confirmation of the deep attachment of Apulian growers to their homeland, and their untiring commitment to preserving and enhancing their heritage.
	MERLOT Although Merlot is not originally an Apulian variety, like other international vines it has found good environmental conditions in our area, and can be used in small quantities for many Apulian Doc wines.
