The disciplinare, the place, the label
01
DOC, DOCG, IGT: what the badges mean
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Puglia is in the IGT tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
02
The denomination rules, in detail
- Allowed grapes. 57 varieties listed in the disciplinare
- Yield ceiling. 26.0 tonnes per hectare
- Tasting panel. No mandatory pre-release tasting
03
Region and area context
Puglia IGT is the region-wide label, so the grapes can come from anywhere in Puglia.

Food Pairing
Body matching
Strong match
Roasts and red meat
Torrevento suggests red meat and roasts. A full-bodied red with a year in oak has the weight to match them.
Try with: Roast lamb or a grilled steak
Tannin softening
Good match
Game
Game is on the producer's own list. Rich, meaty dishes soften the wine's tannins and bring out its dark fruit.
Try with: Venison or wild boar stew
Salt balance
Good match
Aged cheese and cured meats
The producer also pairs it with aged cheeses and cured meats. Their salt sets off the ripe, jammy fruit.
Try with: Aged pecorino and salami

Aim for the cooler end on a warm day; warmer end opens up more aromatics.
