- Located in the southernmost part of Italy’s heel, the Salento Peninsula. It’s lesser-known than some of the more prominent DOCs in Puglia, but it still produces some notable and interesting wines.
- The region benefits from its proximity to both the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, which provide cooling breezes and help moderate the hot Mediterranean climate. This ensures that the wines, even in this warm climate, retain a good balance of acidity and freshness.
