The summer of 2014 saw Puglia and its wines take center stage in a gastronomic journey that delighted the international press. Many awards and recognitions were earned by Varvaglione Vigne e Vini, and among the most notable mentions, the Taranto-based winery is honored to appear among the most appreciated quality wines by American freelance journalist Deborah Grossman, a special guest of the Press Tour “Vini di Puglia IV” organized by the Movimento Turismo del Vino Puglia as part of the OCM 2013-2014 promotional program.

publications such as Wine Enthusiast, Drink Me, The Culinary National Review, San Francisco Chronicle and Napa Valley Life.

Her article is a true travel diary, illustrating the discovery of wines that delighted the journalist’s palate. Among the standout wines mentioned with honor in the article is the “12 e mezzo – Rosato del Salento IGP.” Made from Negroamaro grapes of the Salento region, it is one of the new products from Varvaglione Vigne e Vini, launched just last summer.

The Salento winery is therefore proud to witness the great success this wine has achieved in a short time, attaining the significant reputation that all of Varvaglione Vigne e Vini’s production now enjoys both nationally and internationally.
