Puglia Wine World – Tutta la Puglia del vino in un click
Il vino della DOP Nardò deriva dalle uve di quattro vitigni coltivati nelle campagne di due Comuni: Nardò e Porto Cesareo. La prima è una splendida cittadina barocca nel cuore della Terra d’Arneo che vanta un notevole centro storico a partire da Piazza Salandra, concentrato di opere d’arte tra la guglia dedicata all’Immacolata, Palazzo di città, il Sedile con la statua del protettore San Gregorio Armeno, l’antico Palazzo della Pretura, la Chiesa di San Trifone e la Fontana del Toro. Poco distanti la Cattedrale e il monumento dell’Osanna nei pressi di Porta San Paolo.
Il castello Acquaviva d’Aragona ha perso il suo aspetto di arcigno maniero dopo la trasformazione in residenza civile della famiglia Personè tra il XIX secolo e il XX secolo.
La passeggiata per le strade di Nardò fa scoprire la bellezza architettonica dei palazzi nobiliari dalle facciate riccamente decorate e dotate spesso del mignano ovvero l’imponente balcone barocco che permetteva alle nobili donne di guardare in strada senza essere viste.
Tra il mare e la città, che dà il nome al vino DOP della zona, la località Le Cenate, con ville e casini dove la nobiltà locale trascorreva la villeggiatura. A pochi chilometri le spiagge di Sant’Isidoro e le coste rocciose e frastagliate di Porto Selvaggio e Torre Inserraglio. Sulla costa neretina anche la cala a mezzaluna di Santa Maria al Bagno che, nel Museo della Memoria e dell’Accoglienza continua a raccontare le storie dei tanti ebrei ospitati dagli abitanti del posto tra il 1943 e il 1947, e l’elegante Santa Caterina, tra Torre Santa Caterina avvolta da una fitta pineta e Torre dell’Alto, che funge da ingresso al Parco Naturale di Porto Selvaggio e alla Palude del Capitano.
Palude del Capitano è una zona umida che fa parte del Parco Naturale di Porto Selvaggio e si sviluppa in oltre 500 ettari con pinete, boschi e specchi d’acqua orlati da tamerici, salvia e giunchi tra alte dune di sabbia e grotte sommerse. In prossimità di Porto Selvaggio la costa diventa alta e rocciosa mentre oltre il fitto bosco di pini d’Aleppo spunta una caletta di bianchi ciottoli.
Palude del Conte si distende lungo tutta l’area marina protetta a nord di Porto Cesareo, oltre Torre Lapillo fino alla lunga spiaggia dorata di Punta Prosciutto.
La litoranea sulle quali spiccano le torri costiere di Sant’Isidoro e Squillace conduce a Porto Cesareo e alla sua area marina protetta. Le colonne romane posate sul fondo ci confermano l’importanza del suo porto nel traffico di merci, tra cui il vino aveva un posto di rilievo. Nel bacino è stata anche rinvenuta, durante una battuta di pesca nel 1932, una piccola statua del dio egizio Thoth ora conservata al MarTa di Taranto.
Gli altri tesori sono naturalistici: dalla prateria di fanerogame, un’autentica rarità biologica che offre ossigeno, rifugio e nutrimento agli organismi marini alla piccola idromedusa “Turritopsis nutricula”, l’unico organismo fino a oggi conosciuto capace di invertire il proprio ciclo biologico e di sfuggire alla morte. Mentre sull’isolotto “Mojuso”, che significa fangoso, fiorisce l’Iris revoluta, il raro giaggiolo salentino.
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
