Puglia is the long, sun-drenched region forming the heel of Italy, bordered by two seas and known for generous still wines. WineFortune currently tracks three still wines here — two red and one white — from three producers, among them Farnese and Pasqua, with one wine from the sub-region of Salento.
The reds rest on Primitivo and Negroamaro, often lifted by Malvasia Nera; the whites draw on local varieties such as Verdeca and Bombino Bianco. The warm Mediterranean climate, flat limestone-rich land and dry summers give ripe, full-bodied reds and fresh, saline whites.
All three tracked wines carry the IGT designation, the flexible Italian tier that lets producers work outside stricter appellation rules. The WineFortune index states a median per 75 cl bottle built from WineFortune's own trades and listings over 90 days; no Puglia wine is currently indexed, so no median is shown for this page yet.
