A sparkling wine from Puglia is not something you expect — but this one makes a strong case for itself. 100% Falanghina, grown organically on the plains of Cerignola, gently pressed and refermented in the bottle where it rests on its own lees. No disgorgement, so any sediment you see is natural and honest — a sign of what's inside.

In the glass it's pale straw yellow with delicate greenish hints and a fine, persistent perlage. White flowers and stone fruit on the nose, elegant and precise. The palate is fresh and harmonious with a lively acidity that keeps it sharp and clean.

Pierluigi's Note: This is my aperitivo of choice when I want something a little unexpected. Light, fresh and genuinely interesting. Works beautifully with seafood, light appetizers or delicate first courses. Serve very cold.

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.
