Primitivo di Manduria stands for power and warmth – and the Diciotto Colline from Torrevento shows what happens when this energy is tamed through Riserva aging. 93 points in Falstaff and a gold medal at Mundus Vini 2025 for the 2018 vintage are no coincidence, but rather proof of a winery that takes its Apulian roots seriously.
Wine has been cultivated in Puglia, around the small town of San Marzano , not far from Lake Pappadai, for almost 3000 years. Primitivo Sessantanni is an excellent example of this. Made entirely from 60-year-old vines of this local grape variety, the wine undergoes a three-week maceration period before being aged in small wooden barrels for 12 months before bottling.
In the region around the small town of San Marzano, located almost at the very tip of the heel in Puglia, vines have been cultivated for over 2000 years—a tradition that the San Marzano cooperative respects in all its wines. In this modern cooperative winery, renowned wines are produced from local varieties. At nearly 100 meters above sea level, with high average temperatures and very little rainfall throughout the year,...
Appassimento from Apulia: For this method, the Primitivo grapes are wilted on straw mats or in drying rooms after harvesting, before fermentation. The loss of water concentrates the sugars, aromas, and tannins – the principle is the same as for Amarone from Valpolicella, only implemented here in the south with the Primitivo grape.
A Primitivo di Manduria that shows why this Apulian DOC zone stands for powerful, sun-ripened red wines: dark in the glass, aromatically dense, with real substance in the finish.

In this modern cooperative winery, well-known wines are obtained from local varieties. The Primitivo di Manduria SUD...
Primitivo di Manduria from deepest Apulia – and in this bottling from Varvaglione, the full force and warmth of the region is clearly expressed, without the wine seeming heavy.
The Passione Reale, the true, royal passion, is an Appassimento, a wine whose grapes were dried on the vine! This form of winemaking is currently very modern, but stems from an old tradition in Italy! Originally, the grapes for Recioto della Valpolicella were dried in the Veneto. Then came the dry version, Amarone della Valpolicella, in Lombardy the Sforzato di Valtellina, in Tuscany the Governo and Vin Santo. Various Passito...
A Primitivo di Manduria that shows why Apulia is one of Italy's most reliable addresses for this grape variety: dense, ripe, with a soft melt and plenty of aromatic depth.
Sessantuno — the name represents 61: the founding year of Conte di Campiano. This Primitivo di Manduria comes from Apulia's hot south, where the grape variety develops its full potential on deep red clay soils.
A Primitivo that shows what Apulian cooperative work at the highest level means: concentrated fruit, depth through age, and an aging process that respects its origin.
