Barletta
Wine · PDO · 5 municipalities
Recognised as a DOC since 2011, the Barletta wine denomination covers five Puglian municipalities including Trani and Andria, yet currently registers zero verified producers. The production rules set this territory apart: its red and rosé blends require a minimum of 70% Uva di Troia, with Malbek capped at 10% of the vineyards. Furthermore, Barletta Riserva wines demand a minimum 13.00% alcohol and two years of aging, including at least one year in wood, whilst being strictly forbidden from PET packaging. The resulting red wine is dry and full-bodied, with a characteristic vinous aroma and a ruby-red color that develops garnet tones as it ages.
