La Pruina

In the 80s Pietro D'Apolito inherited the hectares of land in Torre Santa Susanna, and decided to get into viticulture. Slowly he expanded his properties, planting new vines from native vines in the area, but the grapes were exclusively sold to other local wineries. In 2012, however, the new generation felt the urgent desire to give an identity to its products and embarked on the path to bottled wines. This is how the brand "La Pruina" was born.

Puglia

Puglia, located in the southeastern part of Italy, is a prominent wine region known for its rich history and vibrant wine culture. Often referred to as the "heel" of Italy's boot, it has been producing wine for thousands of years, with viticulture deeply rooted in its ancient Greek and Roman heritage.

Puglia's warm Mediterranean climate, with abundant sunshine and cooling sea breezes, creates ideal conditions for growing robust and flavorful grapes. The area is particularly renowned for its red wines, with Primitivo and Negroamaro being the standout varieties. Primitivo, closely related to California's Zinfandel, produces bold, fruit-forward wines with high alcohol content, while Negroamaro is known for its deep color and complex flavors, often with hints of dark fruit and spices.

Puglia also produces notable rosé wines, particularly from the Salento area, and a range of full-bodied white wines, making it one of Italy's most diverse and dynamic wine regions.
