Salento Rosso Igp
The Salento Rosso IGT covers dry red wines produced in the provinces of Brindisi, Taranto and Lecce in southern Puglia. This is a very warm region known for its bold and spicy reds made from such varieties as Negroamaro and Primitivo. Plantings are often in valleys with high density; yields are large, so production is high, yet the wines retain a lot of body and character.
The IGT boundaries for Salento Rosso are identical to those of the Salento IGT designation.
