From that agricultural activity is derived [olive oil](/source/Olive_oil), [wine](/source/Wine) and table grapes.[1] Bitonto is especially noted for its extra virgin olive oil, Corato, with its own autochthonous variety "Coratina", and Giovinazzo are along notable producing areas. The centers of wine production are mainly concentrated in [Gravina](/source/Gravina_in_Puglia) and [Ruvo di Puglia](/source/Ruvo_di_Puglia), in the north of Bari, and [Adelfia](/source/Adelfia), [Noicattaro](/source/Noicattaro), [Rutigliano](/source/Rutigliano) and [Locorotondo](/source/Locorotondo), in the south of Bari. Also important is the production of cherries; the Apulian red is especially prevalent in the countryside of [Turi](/source/Turi%2C_Apulia) and [Putignano](/source/Putignano).[2] ## See also - [Metropolitan City of Bari](/source/Metropolitan_City_of_Bari) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-Lago2005_1-0)** Lago, Enrico Dal (2005).
