Bitonto, a notable urban center within Puglia's Metropolitan City of Bari, embodies a distinct terroir where specific conditions converge to yield exceptional protected origins. It is home to 14 denominations, reflecting a deep connection between the land and its produce. Among the most localized are the Castel del Monte DOCG wines, such as the Rosso Riserva, originating from a tightly defined zone of just 10 municipalities.
