Primitivo di Manduria: between Terra Rossa and the Ionian Sea

How to participate: PRIVATE EVENT

While Primitivo di Manduria stands as one of the most renowned regions in southern Italy, the focus often lies more on its general style (powerful, rich in fruit) rather than the distinctive aspects of the region itself. This presentation explores the unique environmental factors inherent to the denomination, how these nuances manifest in the wines produced, how the evolution of wine styles caters to international consumer tastes, and how producers in the region are adjusting their methods in response to the challenges posed by climate change.
