Valle d'Itria
Wine · PGI · 8 municipalities
Established in 1999, the Valle d'Itria IGT covers a precise enclave of eight municipalities across Bari, Brindisi, and Taranto provinces, including Alberobello and Locorotondo. This denomination distinguishes itself by strict dual-varietal labeling rules: winemakers can name two grape varieties on the label only if they comprise one hundred percent of the blend, and the minor grape exceeds fifteen percent. Unlike neighboring designations, production allows a high maximum yield of 22.0 tons per hectare. Minimum natural alcohol thresholds are strictly differentiated by wine color, requiring 10.0% for whites, 10.5% for rosatos, and 11.0% for red wines.
