The hot summers and rich and verdant soils in Apulia make for the perfect conditions to grow and make some delicious wines and, as a result, there are lots of wineries and producers in the region. For a long time, the region was not known for making particularly high-quality wines however, in recent years, there has been an active effort to correct this and some highly regarded producers have cropped up. Among them is Antica Enotria, a vineyard located a few kilometres from the Gulf of Manfredonia. If you have found a vacation rental in Apulia and want to spend a day sampling great local wines and learning more about the production process, it is an excellent option.
Antica Enotria has roots dating back to the 1700s but was eventually abandoned and fell into ruin. Its current owners, the Di Tucci, took over in the 1990s and undertook the intensive labour necessary to restore the 12 hectares of vineyards. Today, the farm is organically certified and it is officially part of the Italian Organic Wine Route. This organic philosophy and lifestyle carries into both the production of their wines and all of the other items the come from the farm including the Coratina olive oil, tomatoes, olives, and artichokes.
Visitors today can view the vineyards and farm, explore the different stages of working the grapes and other agricultural products, taste locally produced wines, and sample other products from the garden including the olive oil. In a picturesque and relaxed part of the world and boasting high-quality organic produce and products, this charming family-run winery is a wonderful place to learn more about, and sample, Italian wines as you explore this part of Italy. If you're a wine-lover spending time in Apulia it is an excellent experience and a real must-see.
