Martina
Wine · PDO · 6 municipalities
Recognized since 1973 in Puglia, the Martina DOC encompasses six municipalities, including Alberobello and Ostuni. This white wine relies on a minimum of 50% Verdeca and 35% Bianco d'Alessano grapes. Unlike other regional denominations that allow tiered classifications, Martina’s disciplinare explicitly bans qualifiers such as riserva, superiore, or scelto. Maximum grape yields are capped at 13.0 t/ha, producing a delicate, dry still wine with a minimum 11.0% volume alcohol. A Spumante version, naturally refermented in bottles or autoclaves within provinces like Taranto, features a fine, persistent spuma and complex, fragrant notes arising from refermentation.
