Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• 70% of rainfall concentrated in autumn and winter; mean annual precipitation between 450 mm and 1,300 mm.
• The DOC encompasses the lower Murgia and the Valle d'Itria, a morphological setting that modulates the microclimate.
• Viticulture succeeds only where the soil is deep enough to offset summer aridity.

• Soils of 'terre rosse' over a karstic bedrock: summer aridity drives roots deep, favoring viticulture where the soil is sufficiently deep.
