The Work Today
The work at Antica Enotria is built on continuity: the estate founded by Raffaele Di Tuccio in 1985 in Cerignola, Apulia, Italy still frames the house today. That kind of long hold on one property tends to shape style, pace, and decision-making more than any single release. As winemaker at Antica Enotria, Raffaele Di Tuccio keeps the role tied to the same farm base that defined the beginning. The through-line is plain: the vineyard and the cellar are not separate identities, but parts of one working estate.
