Puglia is situated in the far southeast of Italy; it has affectionately been referred to as "the heel of the boot" for many years. The Puglia IGP encompasses red, white, rosé, passito and frizzante wines made throughout the region. Most wines made in the regions either fall under a specific DOP (e.g., Salice Salentino, Brindisi) or another IGP, such as Salento or Tarantino. Most wine identified simply as Puglia IGP are found only in their immediate zones. (Wine/Appellations)
