Puglia offers far more than one style of wine. The region is famous for ripe, generous reds, but you'll also find fresher and more savoury reds, characterful whites, dry rosé and even sparkling styles.
This guide isn't here to choose a particular bottle for you. Instead, it will help you decide which part of our Puglia range is most likely to contain what you're looking for, then take you to the collection or guide that can help with the next decision.

You don't need to know the local grape names before you start. Red, white or rosé is enough to take you to a more useful choice.
Red wine is where Puglia offers its greatest variety. You can choose from smooth, generously fruity reds, darker and more savoury styles, fresher and more energetic wines, or reds with greater structure and complexity.
Primitivo is responsible for many of Puglia's famously ripe and smooth reds, but grapes such as Negroamaro, Susumaniello and Nero di Troia can take you in quite different directions.
If you already know you want red, our Puglia Red Wine collection will help you choose between those different styles without requiring you to know the grape names first.
Puglia's whites are much more varied than the region's reputation for powerful reds might suggest. Some are crisp, light and refreshing; others bring more aromatic character, ripe fruit, texture or Mediterranean savouriness while retaining useful freshness.
Our range includes grapes such as Verdeca and Fiano alongside other local and international varieties, giving you choices for everything from a refreshing aperitif to a more characterful white for food.

Puglia rosé gives you another side of the region's red grapes. Expect fresh red-fruit flavours and refreshing acidity rather than the dark-fruit richness associated with many Puglian reds, with both still and sparkling styles offering different ways to explore the region.
If you already know what you're eating, you don't need to choose the grape or wine style first. Our Puglia Food Pairing Guide starts with the meal and helps you find the Puglian wines most likely to work with it.
Choose Puglia wine for your food
If you've already enjoyed a producer, or you're interested in the different approaches to Puglian wine, producer can be another useful way into the range. These aren't quality rankings: each producer gives you a different reason to explore its wines.
A strong place to start if you enjoy polished, immediately expressive Puglia wines with ripe fruit playing a prominent role. The range stretches across red, white and rosé, from dependable everyday bottles to powerful premium wines.

A traditionally rooted producer with a particularly broad range. Ripe fruit remains important, but freshness, savoury character, texture and structure are allowed to play a larger part across local white grapes, Negroamaro and several very different expressions of Primitivo.

You don't need to understand Puglia's grapes or producers before choosing a wine. If none of the routes above has resolved the decision, browse the complete range and start with the bottle or style that most appeals to you. One good bottle can be a useful reference point for discovering what you'd like to try next.
If nothing about these styles sounds like what you enjoy, Puglia may simply not be the right starting point today. Our wider wine range gives you plenty of other regions, grapes and styles to explore.
