Situated in the land that gave its name to the POD Primitivo di Manduria, there is a third-generation winery<\/strong> that will host you and tell you the story of this fine Apulian wine. It is set in the ancient wine vases<\/strong> located in the basement of the cellar. (non ho capito molto bene questa frase in italiano. L\u2019ho tradotta letteralmente. Per favore, se non va bene, spiegami cosa intendevi e la rivedo\/correggo) These large vases were made of concrete and were used for the fermentation of wines during the 1970s.
\nEven before Primitivo was recognised as a wine product of protected designation of origin in 1974, the winery was already bottling pure Primitivo in the late 1960s.
\nThe guided tour includes the following activities:<\/p>\n\n
The museum<\/h2>\n
\nThey have recently been renovated and connected, thus creating an open environment that houses the small museum. This is where ancient tools of the farming civilisation have been collected, through which it is possible to learn about the evolution of winemaking techniques<\/strong> and much more! These tools also tell stories of the territory and of other ancient professions, such as the carpenter or the shoemaker.
\nThese objects represent evidence of a not too remote past, glimpses of daily life in those days that alternated between hard work in the fields and family life.
\nSome cisterns, on the other hand, house the history of the winery’s production<\/strong>: from the bottles of Primitivo dating back to 1970, to the first ones after the approval of the procedural guidelines in 1975, thus proving its presence in the history of the PDO since its origins.<\/p>\nPrimitivo di Manduria<\/h2>\n
