Vineyard visits and cellar tastings in Primitivo di Manduria, Puglia. What to drink, where to go, 2026 prices.
Plan your Italy trip โPrimitivo (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.
