**Puglia** — the long region forming the heel of Italy's boot, running down the southeast Adriatic coast. It is one of the country's largest wine producers, historically a source of robust, sun-soaked reds. **Wines & grapes** — The signatures are Primitivo (genetically the same as Zinfandel) and Negroamaro, both making deep, warm, generous reds; Nero di Troia adds a more structured, tannic style further north around Foggia. **Character** — A hot, dry Mediterranean climate and flat, fertile plains give wines that are ripe, full-bodied and high in alcohol, with soft tannins and dark fruit, sometimes with a warm, almost baked or spicy edge. **Good to know** — Once known mainly for bulk wine and blending grapes shipped north, Puglia has increasingly focused on quality, and its Primitivo di Manduria and Salice Salentino bottlings offer great value.
