Which are the best wines of Puglia<\/strong>? and the best Apulian wine producers? In this article we will try to give an answer. Puglia is one of the regions with the greatest wine production in Italy<\/strong> and at the same time, it also boasts numerous DOC<\/strong> (controlled designation of origin) wines. A great goal, if you think that until a few decades ago, no one had in mind which were the best wines of Puglia<\/strong>. This is because most of the local wine production was intended mostly for other regions (often northern Italy, but also for other areas of Europe) where it was used as a blending wine to reinforce local wines. Now however, Apulian wine production<\/strong> is all about quality<\/strong> and has managed over time to build a well-defined awareness<\/strong> of its enormous potential<\/strong>, making room for itself in the minds of consumers. Therefore, today many are wondering which are the best Apulian wines<\/strong> to buy or to taste during one of your holidays in Puglia.<\/p>\n

Apulian wines recognized among the best in the world<\/h2>\n

For some years now, the best Apulian wines<\/strong> have been receiving numerous national<\/strong> and international awards<\/strong>. The best known for fame is the primitive red wine<\/strong> of Manduria<\/em>. Noteworthy above all is that of Gianfranco Fino – a well-known winemaker from Manduria – who obtained first place as the best red wine in Italy for several years. The top step of the podium was awarded to him by the most senior professionals<\/strong> in the sector who annually cross-reference the rankings of various specialized Italian guides<\/strong> such as those of Gambero Rosso<\/em>, L’Espresso<\/em>, Veronelli<\/em>, Bibenda<\/em> and also Vitae, Luca Maroni, transforming the various scores of the different guides in one vote.<\/p>\n

Another primitive – this time from Gioia del Colle<\/strong> – which this year has obtained excellent results, is the one of the historic Coppi di Turi winery<\/strong>. We are talking about the Senatore, a wine dedicated to the founder of the cellar, former winemaker as well as a senator of the Italian Republic, Antonio Coppi. According to Wine Spectator ratings<\/strong> – one of the international specialized magazines in the wine sector<\/strong> – these 4 Apulian labels appear among the best 100 Italian wines:<\/p>\n
