APULIA WINE IDENTITY

From the 12th till the 17th of June, Puglia stated there identity promotion by organising several tours to different wine producers, followed by tasting sessions to promote the quality of their wines to the world.

Over 60 journalist from all around the world, Brazil, Japan, Korea etc… could experience the wines of Puglia.

We know the wines from Puglia mostly as very heavy and with a high alcohol content, so you don’t really ask for seconds. For many of us still an unfamiliar territory.

However, we have seen what some producers can realize, by using a sophisticated process of carefully harvesting and vinification, one can produce wines we like in the north part of Europe.

Because off a fire alarm in the terminus at the airport we could not arrive at the airport and we stood still in the train for about 45 minutes. Then we had to run and ware just in time to go on the plane.

Luckily the flight was pleasant and on time. After a nice lunch at Rome airport with a salad of San Daniele ham and real good and plenty Mozzarella di Buffala we continued our trip to Lamezia Terme and arrived on time where the “navetta” waited for us to bring us to the hotel. After a small refreshment we had to go to the meeting where the rules for the tasting sessions ware explained.
