Description
The Itria Valley, unknown to most, is comprised of the inland territory of the provinces of Bari, Brindisi and Taranto,at the centre of Puglia. It is among the most evocative landscapes in the whole region and is very rich in fauna and flora. The history of this land is ancient and you will find many testimonies to this in every corner: archaeological sites, trulli (the typical conical roofed homes whitewashed in lime), the masserias (old country manor houses) and the dry stone walls. The green of the olive groves, of the vineyards and of the cultivated fields make the Itria Valley a unique and magical place. The wine and food is the best that this land can offer with many dishes of traditional farmers, the great wines from indigenous grapes (Verdeca, Minutolo, Bianco d’Alessano, to mention only a few) and the intense and perfumed flavour of the extra virgin olive oil.
