Murgia
Wine · PGI · 47 municipalities
Recognised since 1999, the Murgia PGI covers 47 municipalities across the province of Bari and BAT municipalities like Andria, where maximum yields are capped at 23.0 t/ha. While it shares classic Puglian grapes like Primitivo and Verdeca with neighbouring regions, Murgia distinguishes itself through strict dual-varietal labeling rules. For a wine to bear two grape names on its label, the wine must derive 100% from those two varieties alone, with the minor variety exceeding 15% of the blend. These composition guidelines ensure that even complex local blends maintain distinct varietal integrity.
