Its entire eastern side is one long coastline bordering the Adriatic Sea. About half way down, the region becomes the Salento Peninsula. This peninsula, bordered by water on three sides, receives moist, nighttime, sea breezes that bring a welcome cooling effect to the region, where little rain creates a challenging environment for its vines. In fact, the region is named for the Italian expression, “a pluvia,” meaning “lack of rain.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePuglia’s Mediterranean climate and iron-rich, calcareous soils support the indigenous Primitivo, Negroamaro and Nero di Troia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePrimitivo produces an inky, spicy, brambly and ripe red wine whose best expression comes from Manduria;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNero di Troia produces tannic, rustic reds from Castel del Monte DOC; \u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ewhile Negroamaro, typically blended with Malvasia nera, plays a large part in may blends made throughout the peninsula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eProduced from hand-picked grapes, this wine is powerful and concentrate and has a balanced oak character with notes of mature dark cherries, plum, chocolate and Madagascan vanilla and spices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCritic tasting note: (2022 vintage) \"« Beautiful strong red color.
