Valle d'Itria – Puglia: white trulli, orderly vineyards and hills designed by light. The Itria Valley is one of the most iconic areas of Puglia, located between the provinces of Bari, Brindisi and Taranto. Characterized by rolling hills, limestone trulli, well-tended vineyards and white villages, this valley represents the perfect meeting between agricultural landscape and rural culture. Between Locorotondo, Martina Franca and Cisternino, nature and architecture tell the story of a harmonious Puglia, made up of slow gestures and widespread beauty. 🍇 A territory dedicated to vineyards: The mild and breezy climate, the calcareous soils and the moderate altitude make the valley ideal for the cultivation of white vines such as Verdeca, Bianco d'Alessano and Fiano. The Locorotondo DOC and Martina Franca DOC denominations represent the brightest and most fragrant part of Apulian viticulture, with fresh, delicate white wines deeply linked to the territory. 👉 Tip: Taste a pure Verdeca served fresh: floral, light and perfect to accompany a summer dinner. 🏞️ Trulli, dry stone walls and suspended villages: The landscape of the Itria Valley is an orderly mosaic of vineyards, olive groves, isolated trulli and winding streets lined with stone walls. Villages such as Locorotondo, Martina Franca, Cisternino and Alberobello preserve historic centers of rare elegance, with spontaneous architecture, baroque palaces and terraces overlooking the hills. 👉 Tip: Stroll through the concentric alleys of Locorotondo in the late afternoon: the golden light turns every corner into a painting. 🚶 Paths, wineries and countryside to experience: The valley is perfect for slow itineraries: hiking or cycling, visits to wineries, gastronomic tours of the masseria. Many farms offer experiences among the rows, guided tastings, rural picnics and dinners under the stars. Each experience is immersive, authentic and linked to the rhythm of the earth. 👉 Tip: Join a combined trullo-winery tour: vernacular architecture and local wine in perfect balance. 🍷 Simple flavors and bright combinations: The cuisine of the Itria Valley is based on genuine ingredients: seasonal vegetables, fresh cheeses, grilled meats and fragrant bread. The white and rosé wines of the area are easily combined, enhancing light dishes and Mediterranean flavors. Do not miss the fresh rosés and the refermented in the bottle, which are increasingly appreciated. 👉 Tip: Combine a Martina Franca DOC with a focaccia with onions and cherry tomatoes: a truly delicious play of sweetness and acidity. 🎉 Traditions between music, wine and white alleys: Throughout the year, the valley hosts events celebrating wine, gastronomy and popular music: evenings in the trulli, festivals in the square, farmers' markets and dinners in the vineyard. Each season has its own rhythm, each village its own festival, each glass its own history. 👉 Tip: Experience a summer evening in Cisternino among lit grills, full glasses and accordions under the stars. The Itria Valley is a symphony of trulli, rows of vines and scents: a gentle and reassuring landscape, where every step is an invitation to wonder and slowness.
