Valle d’Itria (Itria Valley) is an area located in the southern Italian region of Puglia. It has its own Valle d’Itria IGT. The Itria Valley spreads over the Provinces of Bari, Brindisi and Taranto, and coincides with the lower part of the Murgia upland (Low Murgia). The towns of Martina Franca, Locorotondo, Cisternino, and Ceglie Messapica overlook Itria Valley. “Valley” is an inaccurate term, because Itria Valley has not the typical conformation of mountain area valleys: it is just a depression due to karstic phenomena. See the Bassa Murgia and Itria Valley.

Wines: Locorotondo DOC. | Martina Franca DOC. | Ostuni DOC.
