About The Producer
In the heel of Italy, Manduria is considered the birthplace of the native Primitivo grape and was officially recognised as such in the 1970s when a DOC was created for the region.
Produttori di Manduria had been making wines for 40 years by then, unashamedly proud of their deep affection for Primitivo. Producer of one of Puglia’s few DOCGs, as well as making high-quality examples of Puglia’s most famous vinous export, this leading producer is well-versed in producing fascinating whites from Fiano and Verdeca. It is with the poetically titled Elegia that the extraordinary levels of quality come to light. Made from old bush vines up to 50 years old, it is notable for its intense dark berry fruit with wonderful balsamic end notes and excellent balance.
