Wine Touring In Apulia
Wine Touring In ApuliaA usually better choice is the red or rosé Copertino DOC made from Apulia's signature red grape Negroamaro in the south near Lecce. It is made in a wide variety of styles, but I wouldn't usually write home about it. The region's best-known wine is Castel del Monte DOC produced near the capital Bari in the central north. To some extent this is true, but forward-looking producers are making a real effort to trade quality for quantity. The plains are hot and fertile, so that sounds like three strikes against fine wine.
Apulia, also known as Puglia, is a very high-volume wine producer. Why not finish your tour at the inexpensive Wine Bar Corte dei Pandolfini? Finish your tour in the relatively unknown city of Lecce, sometimes called "the Florence of the south." You'll find baroque architecture, a cathedral, historic churches, a Piazza, and the remains of a Roman Amphitheater. The Grotte di Castellana form the largest network of caves in all Italy.
Would you believe that some have been transformed into wineries? Don't miss the unique Apulian habitations, Trulli, that look like limestone teepees. There's the mysterious eight-sided Castel del Monte. You may want to visit the Foresta Umbra (Shady Forest), a real ecological delight bursting with animal and plant life.
The boot's spur is the beautiful Promontorio del Gargano (Gargano Promontory). This is part of the south, in many ways the real, unspoiled Italy. So you have decided to go to Apulia, the heel of the Italian boot surrounded by the Adriatic Sea and the Gulf of Taronto.
