Ostuni
Wine · PDO · 7 municipalities
Established in 1973, the Ostuni DOC spans seven municipalities in Puglia, including Carovigno and Latiano. This denomination distinguishes itself from neighboring Puglian zones by its highly specific, uncommon grape requirements: white wines must contain at least 50% Impigno and 15% Francavilla, while reds mandate a minimum of 85% Ottavianello. Furthermore, unlike surrounding geographic appellations, the official production rules entirely omit any mandatory aging periods or riserva categories for either style. Despite this long legal history, the registry currently records zero verified producers, leaving these dry, straw-yellow wines as rare historical formulas on paper.
