Puglia Wine
Puglia (a.k.a. Apulia) is located in southeast Italy, or as many describe it, the “heel” of the boot. Flanked by the Adriatic and Ionian seas, it’s a spectacularly fertile peninsula, known for growing olives, figs, almonds, wheat and of course, wine grapes. Its Meditterranean climate is hot, with long sunny days cooled off by ocean breezes. The region has been inhabited for many centuries, with wines factoring in throughout. The Greeks, Romans, Goths, Lombards, Byzantines, Turks and Venetians all occupied the province at various stages from several centuries B.C. up until 1861, when it was officially recognized as part of Italy.
Next to wine, olive oil is its biggest industry, accounting for half of Italy’s production. Red wine has come from Puglia in profuse quantities, and garnered the region a reputation for being a terrific source of “plonk” for a long time. Producers enjoyed success for this mass production, and happily churned out oceans Read more »

Feudi di San Gregorio Primitivo di Manduria 2010
Snoothrank:
Restrained nose with notes of fresh tart cherry, leathery oak, and subtle spice notes. Similar on the palate, with good acid and tannin but very subtle fruit, some toasty notes but, again, very subtle. This wine didn't really speak to me, it seemed a little flat...but maybe my developing palate just didn't pick up on the nuances. Compared this w... Read More

Tormaresca Red Blend Puglia IGT Neprica 2010
Snoothrank:
Drink Now-The 2010 Neprica is a great example of the inexpensive, utterly delicious reds southern Italy is capable of. This plump, juicy Neprica offers lovely dark fruit, licorice and herbs on a powerful frame. It is an incredible value. Neprica is a blend of Negroamaro, Primitivo and Cabernet Sauvignon. @shopperswines Read More

Bartenura Malvasia 2012
Snoothrank:
This is my favorite wine. It beat out Hazlitt's Red Cat wine, which had been my favorite for years. It's sweet, but it has several different fruity notes that make it interesting, rather than just tasting like glorified grape juice. It's a bit fizzy as well. Read More
