Puglia is a wine region located in the southeastern part of Italy, known for its warm climate, rich history, and diverse range of wine styles. The region is situated in the 'heel' of Italy's boot-shaped peninsula and is surrounded by the Adriatic and Ionian Seas. Puglia has a long history of winemaking, dating back to ancient times when the Greeks and Romans cultivated vines in the area. Today, Puglia is one of Italy's largest wine-producing regions, with a focus on red wines made from native grape varieties.
