Wine · PDO · 3 municipalities
Recognised since 1973, the Locorotondo DOC is a white wine appellation spanning three Puglia municipalities, including Cisternino and Fasano. What distinguishes this denomination from its regional neighbours is its strict ampelographic requirement: the base blend must contain a minimum of 50% Verdeca and at least 35% Bianco d'Alessano. Cultivated at a maximum yield of 13.0 tonnes per hectare, these grapes produce a pale straw-yellow wine, sometimes tending to greenish. This dry, harmonious wine features a characteristic delicate aroma and a slightly bitter aftertaste, requiring a minimum total alcohol content of 11.0% by volume.
