The vines, cultivated using the traditional \u003cstrong\u003eApulian bush vine\u003c\/strong\u003e system, benefit from intense sun exposure and have an average age of around thirty years. Thanks to strict \u003cstrong\u003elow-yield\u003c\/strong\u003e management, the bunches achieve optimal aromatic concentration and full ripeness. These specific agronomic conditions allow for an expression with a \u003cstrong\u003erich body\u003c\/strong\u003e and a profound territorial identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with manual harvesting towards the end of August, preserving the integrity of the fruit.

Following malolactic fermentation, the wine undergoes careful ageing for eight months: part matures in \u003cstrong\u003efirst-passage French and American oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e to acquire warm and spicy notes, while the remainder rests in steel.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePoggio Maru Primitivo di Manduria 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e encapsulates the essence of Salento, from vines cultivated using the traditional Apulian bush vine method.
