Primitivo wine is one of the most popular southern red wines in Italy and abroad. It is an elegant, deep and velvety wine, which seduces in the IGT Salento denomination and as well as in the DOC Manduria denomination. Our Primitivo line called 'UNO' is insoired bv the origin of the name of grape variety: from the Latin 'primativus' which means precocious, In fact, the grapes of this variety ripen earlier than the others, so they are the first to be harvested. In our wines we have always tried to preserve the intensity and fragrance of these wonderful grapes and to enhance it through skilful aging.

A unique wine obtained from Primitivo grapes only, manually harvested during the proper period, when they have reached the optimal ripening level Aging for about 9 months, in prestigious barrels of French and American wood. The DOC “Primitivo di Manduria” "1" UNO can be sold only after two years from the 31st of March succeeding the harvest.
