Brindisi

Wine · PDO · 2 municipalities

Recognised since 1981, the Brindisi DOC strictly limits its grape-growing zone to just two Puglia municipalities: Brindisi and Mesagne. While neighbouring southern appellations span vast territories, this compact enclave of 17 verified producers operates under highly localized geography. The denomination's red wines must contain at least 70% Negroamaro, but what distinguishes Brindisi from its regional siblings is its dedicated Susumaniello varietal bottling. Demanding a minimum of 85% of this native red grape, the wine must achieve at least 12.0% volume of alcohol and features a distinct sensory profile defined by prominent notes of forest berries.
