Antica Enotria 'Puglia' Sangiovese IGT 2009
The Azienda Agrobiologica Antica Enotria is located in the province of Foggia, just a few kilometres from the Gulf of Manfredonia, near the salt works of Margherita di Savoia, in Posta Uccello. In 1993, under the direction of Raffaele di Tuccio, Antica Enotria started producing wines from indigenous grapes without the use of chemicals pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers. Vines are trained in the “Pugliese trellis” and the “espalier” methods, and wines are vinified in the ancient Masseria Staffa, built in 1700, now a full modern winery. The property is 40 hectares, and the annual production is around 100,000 bottles. In addition to wine, di Tuccio also produces preserves in oil of artichokes and dried tomatoes, extravergin oils and Table Olives. Antica Enotria has received several quality certificates from Gambero Rosso, Slow Food, Meran International Wine Festival, and other wine guides. In 2007 the Falanghina received the Oscar Quality price from Gambero Rosso and all other wines have received good scores and reviews from Italian wines guides.
