In 2019, Puglia produced 1.7 million hectolitres of wine: equivalent to 233 million bottles. This makes Italy’s southernmost region the 6th largest producer of DOC/G wines, next to Piemonte.Roast grapes are a surprising treat that can transform even a rather tired bunch into a delicacy worthy of the finest dinner party. (If you don’t fancy powering up the oven, they’re also delicious fried or grilled, though they won’t have quite the same intensity of a slow roast.) Store in the fridge for up to five days, or freeze to use as needed. I love them tossed through roast veg, blended into smoothies or served with baked ricotta.

Most of Puglia sits upon limestone plateaus, and its soils are rich in calcium. The limestonesubsoilis covered by a thin layer of fertile soil,sometimeswith very poor organic content. As a result, theplateau is seen as the ideal habitat for the grape vines,because their roots reach deep intothe eroded limestone. Vines often have naturally low yields per hectare, and a great supply of minerals. Gioia del Colle DOC is an important productionzone for Primitivo wines. It’s situated on the Murge plateau, in the southern part of the province of Bari. Soils are calcareous, and are called “red earth”. In Guagnano and Salice Salentino (the province of Lecce in Pugliua’ssouth-east), the topsoil is sandy and peppered with marine sediments left over from an ancient sea. The Primitivo grape can be quite productive. Salento IGT allows winemakers to harvest up to 17 tonnes per hectare. However, such abundant harvests don’t produce grapes of high quality. That’s why high-volume farming is geared toward bulk wines. To produce high-quality wines, winemakers have to discard poor grapes, which drastically reduces their volumes. That’s why Primitivo di Manduria DOC sets the maximum harvest to nine tonnes per hectare. Primitivo di Manduria DOC:9 tonnes per hectare. In favourable years may be increased by up to 20% by the Consorzio. In unfavourable years may be reduced by the Consorzio [5].
