Puglia Elegance - Bio

Discover the ‘Puglia Elegance’ collection — two rosés that embody elegance and the courage to stand out. Created by a woman producer in a land where winemaking has long been dominated by men, they are a tribute to freedom, self-expression, and a new voice in Puglia.

Temèria is a bold and distinctive rosé made from 100% Malbec. Its brilliant pink color catches the eye, while the bouquet reveals notes of ripe cherries, raspberries, and subtle floral hints. On the palate it is dry and structured, with a firm character and touches of strawberry and citrus that add complexity.

Sontuosa lives up to its name with pure elegance. Made from 100% Nero di Troia, it shines with a bright pink hue and layers of blossom, citrus, and a touch of pomegranate. The taste is velvety, rounded, and inviting — perfect as an aperitif or paired with Mediterranean dishes and seafood.

Together they form a rosé adventure with both style and depth — wines that challenge expectations and show a different side of Puglia: refined, daring, and full of personality.

Best served chilled at 8–10°C · Alcohol: 12.5–13%

In the heart of Puglia's wine country, Maria Faretra leads an all-female company that represents a unique and revolutionary approach to winemaking. With a modern soul and ancient values, the brand is born from a desire to combine the past with a forward-looking vision for the future.

Under her leadership, the philosophy is an obsessive search for detail, blending excellent technical skills with artistic inspirations. This meticulous attention extends beyond the cellar to the magnificent labels that create a complete and beautiful experience, honoring the authenticity of the wine inside and out. The winemaking process is based on a "subtraction" approach, which allows grapes like Malbec to fully express the authentic character of their land.

This method, along with a strong commitment to sustainability, ensures that every bottle tells a story of passion and purpose, truly representing the expertise of a single, visionary creator.

Blessed by the Mediterranean sun, La Capitanata forms a part of northern Puglia, where olive groves and vineyards stretch as far as the eye can see. This ancient land, chosen by civilizations since Roman times, has long been a perfect setting for creating great wines, a legacy that continues today.

The region's topography is defined by its proximity to the UNESCO site of Herdonia, with a microclimate characterized by warm summers and mild winters. This, along with the excellent drainage of its soils, creates the perfect conditions for growing noble grape varieties.

Here, the clay-limestone soils, rich in potassium and with a notable presence of limestone rocks, allow the grapes to express their most distinctive characteristics. It is this land of fascination and passion that is at the very heart of the wine, truly representing the heritage of the region.
