Primitivo Gioia del Colle DOC Riserva

Our Primitivo Gioia del Colle DOC Riserva represents a spectacular expression of Puglia’s high-altitude viticulture. This prestigious red wine comes from selected vineyards in the historic Gioia del Colle zone. Therefore, the grapes benefit from cooler nights and unique limestone soils.
