Puglia Wine World – Tutta la Puglia del vino in un click
La leggenda racconta che fu un bicchiere di troppo del vino prodotto a Barletta a provocare la Disfida del 13 febbraio 1503 che vide scontrarsi 13 cavalieri italiani e 13 francesi, che fu vinta dai “nostri” capitanati da Ettore Fieramosca. A memoria è stata ricostruita nel centro storico la Cantina della Disfida e collocato un cippo nella piana tra Corato e Andria dove avvenne lo scontro.
L’area di produzione del Barletta Rosso DOP comprende i territori fra Andria, Barletta e Trani e in provincia di Foggia le zone di San Ferdinando di Puglia e Trinitapoli.
Partendo da Andria un cenno è d’obbligo a uno dei castelli più famosi d’Italia, quel Castel del Monte voluto dall’imperatore Federico II come simbolo del proprio potere: una grande corona ottagonale di pietra che domina le Murge fino al mare.
Ad Andria, notevole per la sua produzione di olio d’oliva, oltre al centro storico ricco di chiese e palazzi, sono mete di interessanti passeggiate anche i dintorni dove sono tante lame e depressioni carsiche come il pulo di Gurgo con le grotte usate come ipogei. Da non perdere Andria sotterranea, costituita da una rete di cunicoli e resti di abitazioni medievali che si snoda al di sotto di tutto il centro storico.
A Barletta, oltre al castello, la cattedrale e la basilica del Santo Sepolcro guardata a vista dalla statua del Colosso Eraclio, d’obbligo ammirare i quadri di Giuseppe De Nittis esposti a Palazzo Marra, uno dei più bei palazzi della città. A poca distanza dal centro c’è il Parco Archeologico di Canne dove si tenne nel 216 a.C. la celebre battaglia tra Romani e Cartaginesi.
Trani offre più di un motivo di visita, a partire dalla cattedrale e dal castello sul mare. Interessante l’antico quartiere ebraico, la Giudecca, dove si trovavano quattro sinagoghe che furono trasformate in chiese dopo l’espulsione degli ebrei dalla città.
San Ferdinando è un paese che domina la valle del fiume Ofanto e che deve il suo nome al santo Ferdinando III di Castiglia e Leòn. Simbolo del borgo sono l’ottagonale Torre dell’Orologio e il pregiato carciofo di San Ferdinando.
Trinitapoli chiude il percorso sulla strada del vino Rosso Barletta DOP. Qui si trova il Parco Archeologico degli Ipogei, uno dei santuari dell’Età del Bronzo più importanti d’Italia. Un’altra caratteristica peculiare è la zona umida delle Saline di Trinitapoli e Margherita di Savoia, la più estesa della Puglia.
Ipogei e area geografica limitrofa sono tratti comuni tra Trinitapoli e Canosa. Canosa è un centro archeologico molto importante. Qui ci sono oltre 2000 i reperti nel Museo Archeologico di Palazzo Casieri, ma anche tantissimi altri rinvenuti negli scavi sono sparsi nel mondo. Nel Palazzo Sinesi invece si trova il corredo di oltre 400 oggetti della Tomba Varrese, scoperta per caso da Sabino Varrese nel 1912 insieme alle altre strutture funerarie daune.

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
