Manduria

Manduria is a charming municipality in Puglia, situated between the Salento plain and the Ionian Sea, known for being the homeland of the famous Primitivo di Manduria, one of Italy's most appreciated red wines. Its origins date back to the ancient civilization of the Messapians, of which impressive testimonies remain such as the megalithic walls, the Archaeological Park, and the suggestive Pliniano Spring, an ancient spring carved into the rock. The historic center is a maze of narrow streets, Baroque churches, hidden courtyards, and noble palaces, narrating centuries of history and culture. Manduria is also close to beautiful beaches and natural reserves, offering a perfect balance between art, nature, and taste. It is an ideal destination for those wishing to discover the authenticity of the deepest Puglia, amidst archaeology, peasant traditions, and intense flavors.
