Its southernmost portion, known as the Salento peninsula, forms a "tacco" or heel on the boot of Italy. It has the largest coasts for any region on mainland Italy.

 

Tours Suggestion in Puglia

The north and south of Puglia are much different from one another. The northern part is hillier while the southern is plain and coastal and has a strong influence of the Greco-Roman empire. As with the topography and the climate, the wines grown in these two regions have their differences as well.  The north and south both are known for their production of olives and grapes

They make red and white wines made from local grape varieties like Sangiovese and Montepulciano among others. The hot Mediterranean climate, sunshine and cool sea breezes together make for a perfect environment for viticulture. Embark on exciting wine tours in this region as you go on exclusive winery visits. Take part in exquisite guided wine tastings and food pairings. Since the region is one of the largest olive producers in Italy, you can also visit the many olive gardens and mills, where you can learn the work that goes behind making some of the most delicious olive oil in the world.
