Padre - Nero di Troia

Padre is the most refined expression of Nero di Troia, one of Puglia’s noblest grapes. From carefully selected grapes and six months of gentle oak aging, it captures the essence of Puglia’s winemaking tradition — elegant, powerful, and deeply rewarding.

This wine is all about depth and elegance. Its intense ruby red color reveals aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, and warm spices. On the palate, rich layers unfold with soft tannins and a long, harmonious finish — a wine that surprises with every sip.

Padre is made to be savored. It shines alongside grilled meats, pasta with slow-cooked tomato sauces, or aged cheeses — dishes that match its character and intensity. It’s a wine that can anchor a celebration, yet is just as memorable when enjoyed in a quiet moment. Watch the video below to hear more about this wine directly from the maker.

In the heart of Puglia's wine country, Casaltrinità represents a unique approach to winemaking since 1965 - one where local growers come together as equal partners in a true cooperative. The winery sits on historic lands once belonging to the Order of Malta, whose Maltese Cross symbolizes their unity on every label.

Today, under Antonio Gargano's leadership, these passionate winegrowers don't just combine their harvests - they make decisions together, share both challenges and successes, and equally participate in profits. This democratic approach to winemaking, rare in today's world, ensures that every bottle reflects not just one vision, but the collective expertise of an entire community.

From their award-winning 'Padre' to elegant international blends, their wines tell a story of shared passion and purpose, where every grower has a voice in creating wines that truly represent their land.

Blessed by the Mediterranean sun, Puglia forms the heel of Italy's boot, where olive groves and vineyards stretch as far as the eye can see. This ancient land has been producing exceptional wines since Roman times, each area adding its own chapter to the story.

In the north, the BAT province (Barletta-Andria-Trani) stands out as a jewel in Puglia's crown, where Emperor Frederick II once built his magnificent Castel del Monte, recognizing the area's special character for wine cultivation.

Here, in the historic town of Trinitapoli, limestone-rich soils and gentle sea breezes create the perfect conditions for growing noble grape varieties, especially the region's beloved Nero di Troia, allowing each wine to express its most distinctive characteristics.
