Masseria Ficarigna

We have reached the end of the year, and it is now time for rankings and awards. We'll start today by electing the revelation winery of the year.

A plant of contradictions, adorned with sharp spines and sweet fruit. Taking its name from the prickly pear, the Masseria Ficarigna winery showcases the breadth of Apulian biodiversity on its labels. Located in Salento, in the heel of Italy, the vineyards are immersed in an enviably complex climate, with varied terrains bordered by the Adriatic and Ionian seas and an exposure that is softened by the sea currents. This perfect balance creates iconic and distinctive wines that owe a great deal of their reputation to the sun-baked land.
