The wineries of the region, such as the Feudi di San Gregorio have devoted special attention to this type of product, in order to obtain bottles of high value, capable of transmitting all the flavour notes of a land rich in aromas and tradition. This work has led the production of rosé wine from Puglia to excel in the national arena thanks to the geographical characteristics of the territory, mainly flat, narrow between the hills of the southern Apennines and the maritime influences coming from the Adriatic coast, which allow the cultivation of the best vines. It is therefore no coincidence that many bottles can bear the specific designation of origin Puglia IGT.
A story that was born in Puglia.
To better understand what are the typical characteristics of this type of wine, we must first of all consider the short history of rose of Puglia, especially when compared to the secular productions of reds and Apulian white wines. Legend has it that the first rosè appeared in Italy at the end of World War II and came from this region, mainly made with Negroamaro grapes. The products on sale online on refer directly to this tradition. In fact, the production of rose wines in the Apulian territory is much older and can be traced back to the times of the ancient Magna Grecia, when an original way of vinification called "teardrop" was developed which provided for the division of the skins from the must by the use of a sack. This method has lasted for many centuries and can be considered a true ancestor of the modern Apulian rosé. Today the region is in fact the Italian queen in the production of rose wines, with numerous excellences coming in particular from Salento, where rosè has become a real hallmark, a product able to tell better than any other label a young, fresh and dynamic territory.
The products and the combinations
Among the rose wines of Apulia particularly appreciated is Rosé of Primitivo Salento "Tramari", an IGT with a light color obtained entirely from Primitivo grapes. This bottle expresses at its best its region of origin, with a scent rich in Mediterranean citations and an elegant and fresh aroma that makes it the ideal companion of traditional seafood dishes, such as soups and baked fish, but that can also be exalted in aperitifs, combined with light cheeses or an Italian appetizer. Equally appreciated is Castel del Monte Rosato "Pontelma" DOP, an Apulian rose wine with an intense ruby color capable of surprising with its notes of black cherry. Perfect to combine with red meats, mature cheeses and strong flavors of baked dishes. Finally, we cannot forget Salento Calafuria, from the cellars of Tormaresca-Antinori, a product of great class, with an intense pink color with shades tending to coral, with delicate and fruity aromas of grapefruit and peach, and an excellent balance on the palate between persistence and flavor.
