Primitivo di Manduria, Puglia

Primitivo (genetically identical to Zinfandel) produces powerful, jammy, warm reds. Manduria (Taranto province) is the heartland. Negroamaro is the other great Puglian red โ€” darker, more structured. Estate tastings in Manduria, Lecce province (Salento), and the Gioia del Colle area. Expect 4-5 wines, olive oil, taralli (crispy bread rings), and local cheeses. Puglia's wine tourism is less developed than Tuscany โ€” meaning: smaller crowds, lower prices, warmer welcomes.

๐Ÿ’ก Book direct. Estate websites or a phone call gets you the same tasting for 20-30% less than aggregator sites. Many small estates don't list on GetYourGuide/Viator โ€” the best discoveries come from driving the wine roads and stopping where the "Degustazione" sign points.
