Altamura

Altamura, the largest municipality by surface area in the metropolitan city of Bari, Puglia, is where exceptional food and wine are born from its extensive territory. This land is the birthplace of the renowned Pane di Altamura DOP, a bread protected within a zone of just 5 municipalities, crafted from local durum wheat. It also contributes to the distinctive white wines of Gravina DOC, whose production area spans only 4 municipalities. These local specialties are among the 14 protected denominations overlapping here. With 27 verified producers active in Altamura, including 2 open for visits, the municipality offers a direct encounter with its authentic flavors.
