Tavoliere delle Puglie
Wine · PDO · 19 municipalities
Recognised since 2011, the Tavoliere delle Puglie DOC covers 19 municipalities in Puglia, including Apricena and Barletta. This denomination distinguishes itself by enforcing a high concentration of the Nero di Troia grape, requiring at least 65% in its standard red blends and a strict 90% for varietal bottlings. To manage quality, the disciplinare mandates a maximum yield of 15.0 tonnes per hectare. Furthermore, both Rosso Riserva and Nero di Troia Riserva require 24 months of aging, with at least 8 months in wood, from November 1 of the harvest year to develop their characteristic ruby-red color.
