Falanghina and Fiano — two of southern Italy's most characterful white grapes, grown organically on the calcareous plains of Cerignola and blended into one straightforward, honest white. Fermented in steel and aged 4 months on the lees, keeping everything fresh and true to the fruit.

In the glass it's straw yellow with golden hints. Tropical fruit and citrus on the nose, with a fresh, savoury note that reminds you the sea is not far away. Balanced and persistent on the palate, the kind of white that works equally well as an aperitivo or alongside food.

Pierluigi's Note: This is what I'd open on a warm evening with some good seafood or a cold dish. Light, fresh and easy — but with enough character to keep it interesting. 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.
