What grows here

Leporano

13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.

Leporano, situated within the Salento geographical region along Puglia's eastern Ionian coast, boasts a unique terroir shaped by the intense Mediterranean sun and mineral-rich soils. These specific conditions are foundational for a viticulture that yields wines of profound character. The municipality contributes to no fewer than 13 protected denominations, prominently including the acclaimed Primitivo di Manduria DOC, a red wine celebrated for its deep fruit, produced across a limited zone of just 19 municipalities. This distinct environment also influences the broader Tarantino IGT, ensuring that Leporano's agricultural offerings reflect an authentic Salento identity.
