Crossing regions
Departing
charming Lecce, we stopped first in Manduria for a walkabout and lunch.
Interesting little town … the seat of Primitivo wine culture. You can see the
miles of olive groves turn into miles of grape vines as we proceed west. A
surprising little trattoria with a hand written menu and a perfect local vino
from the local producer. Then on to
Grottaglie, the local home of the ceramics industry. There we met Franco, the eighteenth generation
of ceramics artists and a charming gentleman.
