Primitivo di Manduria – Fruity notes of berries and plum jam, with spicy notes like chocolate, vanilla and tobacco. The palate is full and round, with soft tannins and aromas of red berries, herbs and coffee in the lingering finale.
Gran Maestro wines are made by the collaboration of two Maestros (Professional) winemakers: Beppe, the winemaker in Apulia, who makes the vinification process according to our directions and Marco, our brand new winemaker, who following our expectations, spends a good amount of time in the Apulia region to select the best grapes which are enhanced with oak refinement and blending.
Primitivo
Primitivo is a dark-skinned grape known for producing inky, tannic wines, particularly Primitivo di Manduria and its naturally sweet Dolce Naturale variant. Although there have been contentious and long-running debates about the variety’s geographical origins, there is little question that Primitivo’s modern-day home is in southern Italy, particularly Puglia.

The Country
Italian wine, with its rich diversity and quality, is a reflection of the country’s deep-rooted wine culture and the varied terroirs that span from the Alpine slopes in the north to the sun-drenched islands in the south. Italy is renowned for being the world’s largest wine producer, offering an array of wines that are as diverse as its cuisine. From the robust and age-worthy Barolo and Barbaresco wines of Piedmont to the light and zesty Pinot Grigio of the Veneto region, Italian wines are made to complement a wide range of foods and occasions. The country’s winemaking history dates back thousands of years, influenced by ancient civilizations such as the Etruscans and Romans, and continues to evolve today. Each region boasts its own indigenous grape varieties, with over 350 officially recognized by the Italian government, contributing to the unique character and flavor profiles of Italian wines. Whether it’s a Chianti Classico enjoyed with pasta in a Tuscan villa or a crisp Prosecco toasting a special moment, Italian wines encapsulate the essence of la dolce vita—the sweet life
