The wine region of Puglia
Puglia (Apulia to many English speakers) is a Long, slender wine region in the extreme Southeast corner of Italy's "boot". To use the shoe analogy often used to illustrate the shape of Italy, Apulia extends from the tip of the heel to the mid-calf, where the spur of the Gargano Peninsula juts out into the Adriatic Sea. The heel (the Salento peninsula) occupies the southern half of the region and is of great importance for the identity of Puglia. Not only are there cultural and geographical differences from Northern Puglia, but the wines are also different.
The word of the wine: Petite arvine
An ancient white grape variety from the Valais (Switzerland), which produces renowned wines suitable for ageing. Viney and sustained by a strong vivacity, these wines express a fine salty touch, the signature of this variety. Petite arvine wines can be dry, tender or made from withered grapes from late harvesting. Syn.: arvine.
