Colline Ioniche è la DOP pugliese che valorizza la parte alta dell’Arco Jonico Tarantino. Al territorio appartiene Laterza, cittadina sul bordo di uno dei canyon più profondi d’Europa famosa per le maioliche e per la bontà del pane e della carne al fornello. Da non perdere la visita al Muma, Museo della maiolica laertina, alla monumentale fontana dei mascheroni con gli archi di epoca romana e alla Gravina, dal 1999 Oasi LIPU, Lega Italiana Protezione Uccelli.
Laterza, insieme a Ginosa, Castellaneta, Mottola, Massafra, Palagianello, Crispiano, Martina Franca e Statte, oltre a rientrare nell’area vitivinicola delle Colline Joniche DOP fa parte del Parco Naturale Regionale Terra delle Gravine.
Ginosa, con le sue case-grotte, le chiese rupestri e il castello normanno arroccato sulla rupe, è nota agli amanti del cinema per aver fatto da sfondo al film di Pier Paolo Pasolini “Il vangelo secondo Matteo”.
Castellaneta è la patria del divo del cinema muto Rodolfo Valentino e domina la Gravina Grande che per chilometri racchiude insediamenti archeologici e rupestri. Ma ci sono anche altre gravine nel territorio: Gravina del Porto, con un sito preistorico; Gravina di Coriglione, con l’insediamento rupestre di Santa Maria di Costantinopoli; Gravina di Santo Stefano e le Gravine di Montecamplo con una riserva naturale e di grande interesse archeologico. A poca distanza lo splendido mare di Castellaneta Marina.
Mottola, il bel borgo antico, vanta un territorio ricco di lame e di gravine visitabili, sedi di villaggi rupestri come quello di Lama Petruscio e di Casalrotto sviluppatosi intorno al monastero di Sant’Angelo.
La Gravina di San Marco taglia in due Massafra con il castello che emerge su uno sperone di roccia, dove sono scavate le antiche case di via Muro, le chiese e i luoghi di culto. Meritano la visita il Santuario della Madonna della Scala, le chiese rupestri della Madonna della Buona Nuova, della Candelora e di San Leonardo e il villaggio medioevale di Santa Marina.
Sotto il castello di Palagianello c’è il villaggio rupestre con chiese ben conservate come quelle di San Girolamo, di Sant’Andrea e di San Nicola, dove fu trovato un tesoretto di monete veneziane del XV secolo.
Crispiano, abitato fin dalla preistoria, raggiunse il suo massimo splendore in epoca greca come testimonia il “corredo tombale” del IV secolo, uno dei pezzi più importanti degli “Ori di Taranto”. Nelle campagne molte le masserie edificate tra il XV e il XIX secolo.
Martina Franca deve il suo fascino a palazzi e chiese in stile barocco come la bellissima Basilica di San Martino e il Palazzo Ducale, in cui ogni anno si svolge il famoso Festival della Valle d’Itria.
Il tour alla scoperta dei luoghi del vino Colline Joniche DOP termina a Statte, in cui spicca la Gravina Canale della zingara con case scavate nella roccia. Preziosi i reperti nel Neolitico emersi dalla Gravina di Leucaspide e suggestive le cave di tufo dismesse da inserire nel giro tra chiese rupestri, dolmen, frantoi ipogei, l’acquedotto romano del Triglio, la Grotta Sant’Angelo.
Puglia Wine World
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
