At the foot of the Alta Murgia, Sveva Sernia has quietly built something special. On their 10-hectare family farm and winery, Morasinsi, she and her partner Peter are shaping a project rooted in regenerative agriculture and respect for the land. Sveva grew up in a farming family and always knew she’d work with nature; wine simply became the most honest way to tell the story of her place. Morasinsi’s mission is two-fold: protect biodiversity and prove that good, thoughtful farming can strengthen both community and culture. Everything here is done using indigenous varieties, spontaneous ferments, hand-picked fruit, and in a cellar built around natural materials like concrete, old barrels, and amphora. It’s living wine, shaped daily by its ecosystem. Their vineyards sit alongside a thriving food forest, vegetable gardens, and roaming chickens, all part of a broader vision to create resilient, productive land in a changing climate. Each bottle Sveva makes is a clear, unfussy snapshot of the Murgia: rocky soils, wild herbs, and bright southern light.
