Apulia Collection: wines rich in territorial identity

Apulia Collection: wines rich in territorial identity - Losito e Guarini

From ‘blending’ wines to top production: Apulian wines are recognised today for their quality.

Losito and Guarini ‘Collezione Puglia’ wines originate between hills and plains, in an area characterised by indigenous grape varieties that are perfect for the production of wines rich in identity.

Wine production is also favoured by the Mediterranean climate and the warm, radiant sunshine that the land receives throughout the year, increasing the quality of the grapes and thus of the wine itself.

In Apulia, wine is produced practically everywhere, representing both an economic resource for the country and a link with the history and culinary tradition of these places.

Apulian cuisine is characterised by the importance of basic products such as meat, fish and vegetables, all of high quality. The ingredients are blended in simple but tasty recipes that bring out the natural flavour of each ingredient.

The recipes follow the seasonality of the products and vary from province to province: the typical recipes of the coastal area are different from those of the more hilly province of Foggia and the more inland province of Lecce.

Each province and culinary tradition has its own wine.

Like Salento: the wine area of Apulia par excellence. It is precisely here that the negroamaro, primitivo and susumaniello of the Losito and Guarini collection are produced, wines that are intense and rich in tradition, winners of several awards:

  • The Susumaniello Losito e Guarini won the gold medal ‘Berliner Wein Trophy 2021’;
  • Negroamaro Primitivo Bollato received a score of 95/100 from Luca Maroni in 2021 and won the gold medal ‘Asia Wine Trophy 2020’;
  • Amatè, which received a score of 96/100 from Luca Maroni in 2020 and won the gold medal ‘Asia Wine Trophy 2019’;
  • Finally, our beloved Primitivo di Manduria, which won the gold medal ‘Beliner Wein Trophy 2020’.
