Producers and Wine Reviews about the "Apulia" Wine offers for "Apulia" in find+buy Show in wein.plus:places

The region of Apulia (Italian: Puglia) with its capital Bari lies deep in the south of Italy on the Adriatic coast. The elongated region consists of the spur (Gargano Mountains) and the heel (Salento Peninsula) of the boot. The name goes back to the Apulian tribe. The landscape is characterised by wide plains and gentle, fertile hills.

History

The region is one of the oldest wine-growing areas in the world, as the Phoenicians and Greeks were already planting vines here 3,000 years ago. The Romans particularly appreciated the wine from Tarentum (harbour town of Taranto) and the poet Horace (65-8 BC) described the region as a place of "eternal spring". The Hohenstaufen Emperor Frederick II (1194-1250) was King of Sicily from 1198 and spent 28 years in Italy. Near Bari, he had the Castel del Monte built with an octagonal main building, around which eight octagonal towers are grouped.
