Cacc'e mmitte di Lucera
Wine · PDO · 3 municipalities
Recognized since 1982, the Cacc'e mmitte di Lucera DOC of Puglia is distinguished by a production method that sets it apart from typical regional red wines. Its name, translating in local dialect to 'take out and put in,' denotes the historic practice of blending red and white grapes and musts during vinification. Featuring a minimum of 35% Uva di Troia, this single red style strictly forbids the use of terms like 'riserva' or 'superiore.' This legal restriction ensures the wine remains focused on its characteristic intense aroma and dry, harmonious profile without modern aging classifications.
