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. We harvest the fruit entirely by hand to preserve its pristine quality. Consequently, the final result delivers an incredible balance of power and absolute elegance.
