Producer: Masseria Tagaro, Locorotondo
Apulia, the heel of the Italian boot, is the flattest region of southern Italy. For kilometres vineyards stretch across the landscape, planted with Italian specialties and international varieties. It is believed that the name Apulia originates from ancient Rome, as “Apluvia” means “without rain”, something that still often characterises this region today. In this part of the country a warm, dry Mediterranean climate prevails, allowing the grapes to ripen beautifully. The Masseria Tagaro winery is now run by the third generation and remains deeply connected to both the landscape and its people. Their pursuit of tradition combined with innovation results in unconventional wines that delight wine lovers around the world.
