Wine Tasting La Via del Vino Sunshine in a Bottle Wines of Puglia and Sicily With its sunshine and pretty white trulli villages, beautiful coastline and baroque towns, southern Puglia is becoming a popular tourist destination – but it is also the second largest producer of red wine after Sicily. What makes Puglia so interesting for wine lovers is its own varieties of grapes. Many of Puglia’s native grapes are of Greek descent which arrived centuries ago through the important trading ports of Bari and Brindisi.
