Antica Enotria Rosso 2023

This sun-kissed red from Puglia bursts with juicy cherry and wild berry aromas, with a subtle hint of violets. Made with a blend of regional stars - Nero di Troia, Montepulciano, and a touch of Sangiovese - it hails from vineyards trained in the traditional pergola style. After fermentation, the wine mellows in tank, keeping things fresh and fruit-forward. On the palate, it's all about soft, ripe flavours and a breezy, easy-drinking texture. Perfect for no-fuss enjoyment.

A cheerful, unpretentious red that's perfect for sipping solo or pairing with all sorts of comforting dishes, especially a piping hot pizza.

The wine estate Antica Enotria is one of those tucked-away gems that Puglia does so well. The di Tuccio family, with their lovingly restored farmhouse, have quietly embraced organic practices since 1993. This isn't just about wine, but a whole-estate approach; expect their own tomatoes and olive oil alongside bottles. They champion local grapes like Nero di Troia and Primitivo and even Sangiovese from further up north. There's a real sense of place here, of working with the sun-baked Puglian land, not against it. They're a small producer with a real heart.
