Since
1993, Antica Enotria has been producing their wines without the use of
chemicals pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers. Located in the
province of Foggia, just a
few miles from the Gulf of Manfredonia, Antica Enotria grows these
indigenous grapes: Nero di Troia, Aglianico, Montepulciano, and
Falanghina.
Tasting Notes: This intriguing red spent eight months in used French
barrels. The result: a lean yet muscular, softly tannic wine suggestive of dark
red-berry fruit with notes of licorice and leather.

”Intense black fruit
is framed by sappy and herbaceous aroma notes, with whiffs of anise and leather
carrying over on the palate in a nicely structured, dry and acidic red.” Robin Garr's

- "..smoky, red fruits nose and a lively, well-structured palate."
