Varvaglione 1921
The Varvaglione family winery is located near the Ionian coast, overlooking the Gulf of Taranto and the city of the same name, also known as "the city of two seas," which is bordered by the Ionian Sea along its coast and the inland Mare Piccolo. The soils on which the vines grow are diverse, but predominantly calcareous clay with fossils and iron oxides, which give the soil its characteristic reddish hue. The iron present in the soil aids drainage and prevents stagnation after rainfall, making this red soil among the most suitable for wine production.

Varvaglione 1921 from Apulia
Since 1921, the Varvaglione family has been cultivating vines on calcareous red soils near the Gulf of Taranto. Iron oxide and fossil clay layers provide natural drainage for the vines – and give the wines a mineral depth that is otherwise only found in the deep south of Italy.
