In the philosophy of Antica Enotria the terroir is not just earth, it is indeed an ecosystem to protect, a complex set of factors that starts from the soil and also includes environmental and chemical-physical conditions. The geographical location of the vineyards, which is quite special, creates an unexpected mix that we jealously preserve as it helps to create the identity of the wine.

The terroir of this area is inimitable. The soils are very rich in limestone, clay and mineral salts. The characteristics of the soil are added to those of the climate, mild in winter and torrid in summer. The wind that comes from the sea brings salt, instead, that gives flavour and lowers and mitigates the summer heat giving a refreshing to the vines. The climate is perfect for biology agriculture and for quality viticulture, despite being on the plain, the proximity to the sea gives us temperatures that are not too high in summer. The area, very windy with very useful currents from the East and North, is characterised by very little humidity and good night-time temperature ranges.

“N

atural. We like to associate this adjective with our wine. Natural as something that is an integral part of “nature”. To make our organic wine, we plan vinification from the vineyard, excluding chemical fertilisers and pesticides at all stages of the production process. The vines thus grow in their authentic habitat with fruits that express the characteristics of the territory. This allows us to obtain healthy grapes rich in flavours. We are thus able to create a genuine, quality-product with added value: respect for the environment and consumer health.
