The Puglia (pronounced poo-li-ya) region of Italy is known for it's fruit-forward wines, especially Primitivo (VineCo's December Passport selection).  Located at the south-eastern tip, or at the "heel of the boot", this sunny, dry region is surrounded by water on all three sides.  Cool breezes off the Mediterranean help regulate the temperatures in the vineyards, offering ideal growing conditions for mature, fruity grapes.

Trulli are whitewashed, stone huts unique to the region, which date back to the Middle Ages.  They were once inhabited by peasant farmers of the region.  The small town of Alberobello is a UNESCO site that showcases streets of trulli.

Primitivo is the same grape as California's Zinfandel!

This full-bodied wine brings aromas of dark raspberry, black currant, and preserved cherry with hints of coffee and baking spice. It’s earthy, bold, and luscious character are complemented by round tannins and a smooth finish.

Pair this wine with:
Eggplant Parmesan
Grilled Steak
Smoked Gouda

Puglia supplies about 40% of all of Italy's olive oil.  In the 18th century, Charles of Bourbon proposed tax reductions for landowners in return for helping cultivating olives.  Millions of olive trees exist from those first saplings.
