Galatina
Wine · PDO · 7 municipalities
Recognized in 2004 across seven Puglia municipalities including Aradeo and Cutrofiano, the Galatina DOC remains a quiet southern appellation with zero verified producers currently bottling under its name. For its signature red blend, the disciplinare mandates a base of at least 65% Negroamaro alongside authorized non-aromatic red grapes from the province of Lecce. What legally distinguishes Galatina from neighboring Salento counterparts is the highly restrictive pressing limit applied to its rosé; while other wine types in this DOC permit a standard 70% yield-to-wine ratio, Galatina Rosato is strictly capped at a 50% limit, enforcing exceptional must concentration.
