Grazie mille to everyone who stopped by our booth at .alive festival last weekend! 🍇

Your enthusiasm reminded us why we do what we do – sharing exceptional wines from and introducing our brand-new Adopt a Vineyard program.

The masseria isn’t just where our wines are born. It’s the soul of everything we do. Ancient stone walls, olive groves, sun-drenched vineyards – and now, unique experiences for those who want to go beyond the bottle. ✨

Adopt a Vineyard connects you directly to our Puglian vineyards, one harvest at a time.

🍝 Spaghetti all’assassina: a “killer” dish you can’t miss if you’re in Bari. But why the name?

The magic happened in a Bari restaurant in 1967 thanks to Enzo Francavilla, a chef from Foggia. Late one night, a couple of diners asked for a flavorful dish, and Chef Enzo created this bold, spicy masterpiece. He toasted spaghetti directly in a pan with tomato sauce until smoky, crispy, and caramelized. The customers loved it so much that one of them jokingly called him “an assassin... of great taste!” – and the name stuck! 😏

Would you dare to try it? 🔥

On Vigilia di Natale (Christmas eve), the magic begins at the dinner table! The cenone (big dinner) is a seafood lover’s dream! 🐟🍤 A shining star ? Baccalà fritto – salted cod that’s soaked, lightly battered, and fried to golden, crispy perfection. But it doesn’t stop there! Pugliese tables overflow with seafood delights like octopus, mussels, and prawns, celebrating the region’s coastal bounty.

What’s on your Christmas Eve table? Let us know below!

🌠 Ever heard of “presepe”? In Italy, Christmas isn’t complete without one! Made from materials like olive wood and clay, presepi are traditional Nativity scenes. They can range from tiny, detailed miniatures to massive, full-scale displays.

There are towns in Puglia that even host life-sized presepi, sometimes with real people dressed as characters, transforming the streets into magical open-air Nativity scenes!

Handmade with love, orecchiette are the true taste of Puglia! 🍝✨
These iconic, ear-shaped pasta are crafted from simple ingredients – flour, water, and a pinch of salt. In the heart of Bari Vecchia, local women continue this centuries-old tradition, selling their orecchiette in the alleys of the old town.

Next time you’re in Puglia, don’t miss the chance to pick up fresh, authentic orecchiette. 💛

Each bite is a taste of Puglia's history and holiday spirit. Who doesn’t want these treats on their festive table? 🎄

December 8th marks the Feast of the Immacolata, and in Italy, it’s the official start of the Christmas season! 🎄✨

Wandering through Puglia’s alleys feels like stepping into a Christmas postcard.

Families gather to celebrate, enjoy traditional treats, and, of course, set up their Christmas trees and presepi. 🎁🌟
