Puglia
Wine · PGI · 257 municipalities
Established in 1999, the Puglia IGT spans 257 municipalities, including Accadia and Alberobello, representing the broad viticultural output of the region. Unlike neighboring classifications, this geographical indication permits unique white-vinified sub-designations from red grapes, specifically "Lambrusco vinificato in bianco" and "Negroamaro vinificato in bianco," requiring at least 85% of the named black grape. Additionally, dual-varietal labels carry a strict rule: they must consist of 100% of the two named grapes, with the minority variety exceeding 15% of the blend. While yields peak at 26.0 tonnes per hectare, the minimum natural alcohol content starts at 9.5% volume for white and rosé styles.
