Pilùna is a monovarietal of Primitivo. We are a few kilometers outside the primitive DOC of Manduria, therefore Pilùna falls within the disciplinary of the IGT Salento. The primitive name derives from "first native" as it is the first red berried variety to be ready for harvest. The name Pilùna indicates the ancient tuffaceous containers in which oil and wine were kept.

Here's a big, bold red from Puglia in southern Italy and is made from a blend of the two most popular red grapes there, Negroamaro makes up 80% with Primitivo 20%. Powerful dark fruit flavors are held together in a smooth, full-bodied red wine with soft tannins and a lingering depth of flavor on the finish, thanks to the Italian appassimento winemaking technique, which involves adding a portion of dried grapes to the ferment to create richness of flavor and concentration.

Ancient construction in dry stone, the Jazzo defended the herds and shepherds from the nocturnal attack of the wolves, preventing the climbing over of the fences with its overhanging stones, called Stones of the Wolves or Paralupi.

A wine of great elegance and freshness, its tannins refine in 7.5 HL Slavonian oak tonneaux.

Susumaniello, an autochthonous black grape variety from Puglia, grown in Salento.

Its aromas of flowers and fruit are clearly evident: mint, plum, very subtle notes of fruit, licorice, vanilla and spices. The softness of its long flavor closes with a pleasant bitter vein of the vine from which it derives: Negroamaro. GRAPE VARIETIES: Negroamaro 100%
