What grows here
Grottaglie
12 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Grottaglie, a city at the base of the southern Murgia where its fertile lands meet the border with Brindisi province, benefits from a unique confluence of geological features and Mediterranean influences. These conditions are paramount to the distinctive agricultural produce thriving here. Indeed, this specific territory contributes to an impressive 12 protected denominations. Among these, the Colline Joniche Tarantine DOC wine stands out as a true expression of its limited 10-municipality zone. The region's renowned table grapes also find their ideal home here, contributing to broader protections like Uva di Puglia IGP, a testament to Grottaglie’s deep connection to its terroir.
