Sunday 11 December the double appointment with "Natale in Cantina" and "LoVolio Extravergine" returns, events organized by the Puglia Wine Tourism Movement in collaboration with the Department of Agroalimental Resources of the Puglia Region.

A new opportunity to come into direct contact with wineries and oil mills, open simultaneously throughout the day to allow tourists, enthusiasts and the curious to "taste" new and diversified itineraries, discover companies and meet producers, taste and buy wines and extra virgin olive oils produced directly in the places where they are born.

"Wine in all its Apulian nuances and extra virgin olive oil, declares the Regional Councilor for Agri-Food Resources Dario Stefàno, represent the spearheads of our agri-food production, the identity traits of our productive, but also social and cultural history , which together with the other typical products of the area we continue to support with targeted promotion and enhancement actions. Focusing an appointment on the two cornerstones of our agricultural culture is very significant, even more so in the festive atmosphere of the upcoming Christmas holidays not only for the narrative force they embody but above all because they can play a leading role on the tables of the Apulians and all lovers of good quality things ".

Seven companies can be visited during the day, of which four mills: Galatino and Di Molfetta Pantaleo di Bisceglie (Bt), Caroli di Martina Franca (Ta), Paglione di Lucera (Fg) - and three wineries - Vignuolo di Andria (Bt) ), Menhir of Minervino di Lecce (Le), Mottura di Tuglie (Le).

"In a year in which Christmas will be more and more marked by 'the useful and not superfluous' - comments Vittoria Cisonno, president of the Puglia Wine Tourism Movement - giving a genuine product with the right value for money is a winning choice, especially if combined with the possibility of buying it directly from the producer, tasting it in preview. We therefore hope that many will appreciate the goodness of our wines and our extra virgin olive oils, spending a pleasant day, in a festive atmosphere and warm welcome ".

Furthermore, in the four participating oil mills, the chefs of the " Buona Puglia" association will organize tantalizing and fun cooking shows with "live" preparations of small dishes based on extra virgin olive oil, highlighting the qualities and expressing all their creativity in both cold and hot dishes.
