Terre Carsiche
The Insalata family estate in the Murgia, the limestone plateau of central Puglia. Its name recalls a 1939 harvest record from the founder's great-grandparents. Nicola Insalata, the fourth generation, has led it since 2014. The 2020 Fanova Primitivo earned the estate its first Tre Bicchieri from Gambero Rosso.
