Fiano is another of Campania's legendary native whites that thrives spectacularly here in Puglia. Hand-harvested in small crates and organically grown by the Di Tuccio family, the grapes undergo a brief 8-hour skin maceration to pull out maximum character before a temperature-controlled fermentation in steel. Aged for 6 months on the noble lees with regular battonage, it is a wine that expresses itself with pure fineness and energy.

In the glass, it reveals an intense straw yellow color with golden reflections. The nose is highly aromatic, opening with yellow flowers, ripe peach, and a touch of candied orange. On the palate, it is savory, full, and beautifully driven by a vibrant citrus core that runs all the way through.

Pierluigi's Note: The extra time on the lees and skin contact give this Fiano incredible texture and energy. It is a fantastic food wine that balances complexity with a refreshing bite. Pair it with structured seafood dishes, rich pasta courses, or artisanal cheeses. Serve chilled 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.
