A journey that takes us to the northernmost tip of the Alta Murgia National Park, with its barren hills, olive trees, and vineyards.
The landscape that surrounds us tells of a sel- vage, deeply natural land. When you arrive at Morasinsi's you breathe continuity with this landscape.
Sveva together with her husband Peter have created, a few kilometers from Minervino Murge, a farm that wants to give value to the territo- rio and restore agricultural awareness to the land itself.
Visiting the more than 10 hectares of vineyards we find varieties such as Moscato Reale, Pampanuto l'Aglia- nico pugliese and the star of the area, Nero di Troia. Sveva tells us how the intent is to follow the dictates of regenerative agriculture, where the vines are part of a self-sustaining system rather than an agricultural system on credit.
In this sense, the trees are the protagonists, from the hectare of food forest they have planted, with an endless variety of fruit and non-fruit trees, to the trees planted in the rows that will provide shade in the vineyard over the years.
Yes, because in this area, it is hot, and getting hotter, so that to do agriculture there is a need to look outside the box and promote a new agricultural method.
One of the most astonishing things is the winery, upon arrival almost unseen, an architectural structure with a basement part that is completely integrated into the land. In the cellar, winemaking and aging take place in concrete apart from a small part in terracotta amphorae and wood, porous elements that allow the wine to breathe.
Morasinsi's wines tell the story of the territory, with its limestone soils, and local grape varieties with an authenticity and sincerity few times encountered, streamlined drinks that do not lack freshness as well as fruit. For these reasons we felt like telling you about this lesser-known area of Puglia, with an authentic, wild, natural character.
