IGT area (land wines) for white, red and rosé wines in the Italian region of Puglia. It covers 550 hectares of vineyards with the entire province of Foggia as well as the municipalities of Margherita di Savoia, San Ferdinando di Puglia and Trinitapoli in the province of Barletta-Andria-Trani. Grape varieties authorised in the region may be used. Varietal wines must contain at least 85% of the variety in question, up to 15% may be other varieties. Dual varietal wines must be blended from at least 50 to 85% of the main grape variety and 15 to a maximum of 50% of other grape varieties. For the wines, a minimum alcohol content is prescribed for each wine type, but no ageing periods.
In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
