Daunia
Wine · PGI · 64 municipalities
Established in 1999, the Daunia IGT covers 64 municipalities in northern Puglia, including Accadia, where winemakers work with 47 permitted grape varieties. While the historical, Magna Graecia-linked Uva di Troia remains the dominant native red grape, Daunia distinguishes itself from other regional appellations through highly specific production rules. Most notably, the regulations define a rare "Lambrusco vinificato in bianco" designation, which mandates a minimum of 85% Lambrusco Maestri vinified as a white wine. Yields are capped at 26.0 tons per hectare for generic blends, with red wines requiring a minimum alcohol level of 10.5% by volume.
