Nero di Troia is a grape that often surprises people. Because it isn't well known outside of Puglia, it catches you off guard, but it always leaves an impression. We call this one Padre because it carries the weight and wisdom of our traditions. It spent six months in oak, not to mask the fruit, but to give it a little room to grow.

When you taste it, you’ll immediately notice its fruitiness—look for the dark cherry and blackberry—but also that subtle 'whisper' of spice, like clove and cinnamon, that comes from the wood. It’s a structured wine, meaning you’ll feel the tannins, but they are soft and integrated. A ture elegant wine that has nothing to envy to the big red wines of North Italy.

Pierluigi’s Note: This is the longest-standing wine on the Terra Collective list for a reason—everyone who tries it enjoys it. For me its a wine that taste like home. Serve it at 18°C with red pasta sauces, slow-cooked meat, or a piece of aged cheese. Just remember to let it breathe for a moment before you dive in.

Casaltrinità is more than a winery; it’s a collective of families who have worked these lands since 1965. In a world where big brands often squeeze the small farmer, these growers decided to stand together. They share the risks of the weather and the rewards of a good harvest as equals.

I know these people personally. When you see the Maltese Cross on the bottle, it’s a nod to the ancient history of our land, but to me, it represents the community. They’ve proven that you don't need shortcuts to make something world-class. By choosing this bottle, you are directly supporting a model of farming that puts people and craftsmanship before profit.

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.
