Super Puglians

From tradition to innovation — this trio takes you on a journey through Puglia, where ancient grape varieties meet daring, modern interpretations.

Padre is the most traditional of the three: a refined expression of Nero di Troia, gently aged in oak. Ruby red in color, it offers notes of ripe cherry, warming spice, and smooth tannins.

ATerra Primitivo represents a new generation of Primitivo with a fresh, contemporary style. Its lively, unconcentrated color stands out, leading to a soft and playful palate full of red fruit and spice.

Eloquio rewrites the rules of Apulian winemaking. Made from Malbec, it shows layered elegance, with a ruby-red hue and violet reflections. On the palate, red fruit, spice, and rhubarb unfold into a long, persistent finish.

From classic expressions to modern reinvention, each wine offers its own perspective on the terroir of Puglia and the bold vision of its makers. And because great reds don’t only come from Piemonte or Tuscany — these Super Puglians prove that Puglia deserves a place at the same table.

Best served at 18°C, with the Primitivo also surprisingly refreshing when enjoyed lightly chilled.

Alcohol: 13–13.5%

These three producers, though distinct in their approach, are united by a passion for creating exceptional Puglian wines.

Casaltrinità (Padre) A cooperative where local growers are equal partners, Casaltrinità's democratic approach ensures every bottle reflects the collective expertise of an entire community, united by the Maltese Cross on their label.

Andrea Cavone (aTerra Primitivo) Founded by a young lawyer, Andrea Cavone, who saved a 40-year-old vineyard from being uprooted . aTerra is a small, artisanal production that blends tradition with advanced technology to create honest, genuine wines.

Maria Faretra (Eloquio) This all-female company, led by Maria Faretra, combines ancient values with a modern, artistic soul. Their obsessive search for detail extends from a unique 'subtraction' winemaking philosophy to their magnificent labels.

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, with a historical legacy rooted in grapes like the indigenous Primitivo and Nero di Troia. The region is a mosaic of diverse terroirs, from the limestone-rich soils of the BAT province to the clay-limestone lands of La Capitanata in the north. This variety of soils—including calcareous, sandy, and clay—creates a landscape where each micro-terroir adds its own chapter to the story of the wine. From these varied conditions, the region produces a range of expressions, from the elegant, traditional character of its classic grapes to the daring, innovative styles that rewrite winemaking rules. This is a region where ancient heritage and modern vision coexist to create unique wines.
