Podere ai Contadini is an agricultural company based in Ostuni (BR) owned by Trinchera Anna Rosa and her husband Nino.
Walter is the son-in-law who together with them started the company in 2021 in the middle of the pandemic to be able to work in agriculture with the main objective of continuing to conduct agricultural practices with a high level of sustainability and low environmental impact as has happened for generations.

Podere ai Contadini has a structure consisting of a small cellar and a vineyard area of 0.4ha and an olive grove area of 1ha both in the same company building located in the Vallegna di Ostuni district which is located in the Lower Murgia dei Trulli in the Itria Valley between Cisternino and Ostuni.

In the vineyard planted in 1977 in Vallegna, ideas linked to varieties such as Malvasia Nera, Negroamaro, Verdeca and Barbera were developed, although much attention was paid to the present native varieties such as Impigno, Ottavianello, Francavidda. The latter is the primary project of Podere ai Contadini.

The practice is carried out manually including the harvest with preventive organic pesticide treatments for coverage only.
In the cellar the fermentations are spontaneous and no oenological products are used except low doses of metabisulphite so we proceed with only decanting and manual bottling practices.

As mentioned, the agricultural part is completed with the presence of 1ha of property also in Vallegna planted with olive groves with around 200 olive trees of typical varieties of Puglia and related oil production and with a small vegetable garden mainly managed for family needs.

It is therefore a small company that has decided to produce grapes, wine, oil and other agri-food products following an authentic logic of belonging to a local place, recovering experiences and awareness that have now been abandoned.
