Primitivo vines are located in one of the most fascinating areas of Salento, between Sava and Manduria, in the heart of the denomination. The warmth of
the sun and the proximity to the Ionian Sea are the most important factors for the production of Primitivo di Manduria DOC. This land gives life to the typical bush vines, albarello” of over 30 years old which give to the wine a unique aromatic characteristic.
De-stemming and crushing of the grapes, maceration at a controlled temperature for 8-10 days with regular pumping overs. Draining off and malo-lactic fermentation in stainless-steel tanks. Refining in used American and French oak barriques for the next 6 months.
