Puglia

Puglia, forming the narrow coastal heel of the Italian peninsula, is unique in its flat topography flanked by both the Adriatic and Ionian seas. In the northern plains, 92 verified producers press olives for the Dauno DOP across a zone of 61 municipalities. Further south, the town of Martina Franca hosts 17 overlapping protected food and wine denominations, including Primitivo di Manduria Dolce Naturale DOCG. These agricultural specialties are anchored by products like Pane di Altamura DOP, a durum wheat loaf crafted by 35 verified producers across a zone of 5 municipalities.
