Puglia Wine World – Tutta la Puglia del vino in un click
La Valle d’Itria conserva intatta la sua tradizione contadina, specie quella legata al vino. Qui si producono Locorotondo PDO Martina Franca PDO da vigneti coltivati tra Bari, Brindisi e Taranto. Uno scenario unico con trulli e muretti a secco, descritto da tanti nomi famosi, come Gabriele D’Annunzio che durante il suo viaggio in Puglia scrisse: “Mi sveglio e vedo un paese di sogno, come se dormissi tuttavia”.
Locorotondo, inserita tra i Borghi più belli d’Italia, tiene fede al proprio nome con la sua particolare conformazione urbanistica. Integro si presenta il borgo medievale con la Chiesa di San Giorgio Martire che svetta sulla candida corona di casette “a cummersa” e su via Nardelli, chiamata “lungomare” perché si affaccia sulla Valle d’Itria e sui terrazzamenti coltivati a vigna.
Fasano sembra una vecchia signora adagiata tra i boschi della Selva e il mare di Savelletri, tra scogli e calette di sabbia, e Torre Canne con le dune e le zone umide ricomprese nel Parco naturale regionale Dune costiere. Interessante lo Zoosafari, il secondo parco faunistico più grande d’Europa, con oltre 200 specie di animali provenienti dai cinque continenti.
Più rurale l’atmosfera di Cisternino, quasi un villaggio orientale con case imbancate a calce, cortili nascosti e un labirinto di viuzze animate da botteghe artigiane, negozi di prodotti tipici, trattorie e macellerie con il fornello pronto per degustare le carni.
Splendida Martina Franca, trionfo del barocchetto, con i loggiati in ferro battuto sugli edifici che affollano il centro storico dove spicca il Palazzo Ducale con le sue sale di rappresentanza affrescate. Nel cortile interno, ogni anno d’estate, si tiene il Festival della Valle d’Itria, rivolto agli appassionati di musica lirica e sinfonica. Nei dintorni il verde del Bosco delle Pianelle e prima di andare via un assaggio del Capocollo di Martina Franca, un salume dal gusto unico grazie all’affumicatura con corteccia di fragno.
Da Martina a Ceglie Messapica con la sosta nel bel borgo antico dominato dalla massiccia torre normanna che profuma della storia di Puglia, quella dell’antico popolo dei Messapi, e ha il sapore di gustose sorprese nella capitale della gastronomia pugliese: gli involtini di maiale (bombette), la pasta fresca (sagne) e il Biscotto di Ceglie presidio Slow Food.
Ostuni, la città bianca, si staglia candida all’orizzonte. Tra scale, viottoli e botteghe, spicca la cattedrale quattrocentesca e, a testimonianza delle antiche origini, nel Museo delle Civiltà Preclassiche della Murgia Meridionale c’è lo scheletro di una donna incinta di 25.000 anni fa. Il litorale accontenta tutti: sabbia fine a Rosamarina e Monticelli e scogli alti e frastagliati a Costa Merlata.
I trulli qui sono ovunque ma la capitale è Alberobello, che tra rione Monti e Aia Piccola ne conta quasi 1500. Questi coni, riconosciuti dall’UNESCO patrimonio dell’umanità, rappresentano il vanto del borgo sfoggiando ben dodici tipi di pinnacolo sulle cupole rivestite di chiancarelle. Da visitare il Trullo Sovrano, costruito su due piani e Casa D’Amore, primo esempio di abitazione con l’utilizzo della malta.
Conclude questo tour dedicato al vino della Valle d’Itria, Crispiano, borgo delle “Cento Masserie”, esempi di vita rurale in rilevanti complessi storico-artistici con numerosi percorsi di visita e degustazione di vino ed olio. Il centro storico, scavato nel tufo della gravina, ospita ogni anno un carnevale estivo dedicato al fegatino, gustoso prodotto locale.

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
