Falanghina is one of Campania's great native whites, but it grows beautifully here in Puglia too, on the calcareous plains of Cerignola where the sea breeze keeps things fresh and alive. Organically farmed by the Di Tuccio family, fermented in steel and aged 5 months on the lees — clean, simple winemaking that lets the grape do the talking.

In the glass it's bright straw yellow with golden hints. The nose opens with fresh mineral notes, then tropical fruit — pineapple, banana — and a distinct savoury edge that reminds you of the sea. Full and flavourful on the palate, with a freshness that keeps it lively to the last sip.

Pierluigi's Note: This is a great all-rounder for the table. Fresh enough for an aperitivo, full enough for food. Pair it with seafood, light pasta dishes or fresh cheese. Serve cold at 8–10°C.

Antica Enotria is a reference point for organic farming in Puglia, having committed to the land long before it was a trend. Since 1993, the Di Tuccio family has been certified organic, making them one of the very first in the area to embrace a chemical-free philosophy. Everything happens within the walls of the historic Masseria Contessa Staffa, where they transform vegetables and grapes grown exclusively in their own fields. Their "Kilometre Zero" approach ensures that produce is harvested and preserved within hours to protect the authentic, sun-drenched flavors of the region.

Luigi and Valentina fully share Pierluigi's vision of keeping tradition alive. It is no coincidence that Antica Enotria is a frequent stop during the trips to Puglia organized by Terra Collective.

To understand our products, you have to know Puglia, "A-pluvia", from Latin, the 'land without rain.' Around my home in the North, the lack of water forces the roots to fight, digging deep into the limestone soil. This struggle is why the flavors of our wine and oil are so concentrated and real. The sun provides the intensity, but the Adriatic breeze is always there to keep things fresh, bringing a touch of salt from the coast. It’s a rugged, honest landscape that doesn’t hide anything.
