In the last few years, the “Stilio” wine has been added to the production. From selected grapes in low yield vineyards in the Manduria area. A part of the grapes that takes part in the production of this wine undergoes a slight drying in the plant. This allows to concentrate the aromas before harvesting thanks to a slight dehydration and consequent water loss of about 20-30%. A reference to the ancient Salento cultural tradition of the taranta, rediscovered in recent years. On the label a stylized diadem spider, on a black field. The label displays the symbolism of the spider, of the taranta, whose bite generates the need to dance, with music and colors in a cathartic effect, liberating emotions, which the taste of this wine evokes.

A superb Primitivo, probably even better than the 2019 vintage!
Very heavy bottle, perhaps to keep it in the dark.
Perfect in every way
Little pricey but well worth it, lovely wine!!
