Trullo di Pezza
Trullo di Pezza operates in Puglia, Southern Italy's prolific wine region, where Mediterranean heat and ancient soils shape bold red wines. The winery focuses on indigenous grapes that thrive in this landscape: Primitivo, the region's signature dark-skinned variety, and Susumaniello, a local cultivar gaining recognition for its distinctive character. Mezzapezza Primitivo Salento and Licurti Primitivo di Manduria represent the winery's work with Primitivo across Salento's varied terroirs, while Arlati Susumaniello Salento showcases the potential of the lesser-known Susumaniello grape. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast. Puglia's continental climate and limestone-rich soils produce wines with ripe fruit intensity and structure—a reflection of the region's growing reputation for quality beyond its volume production.
