Vinification:
Hand-picked grapes undergo a meticulous selection process after destemming. The wine matures slowly in French oak barrels for around six months, resulting in a full-bodied profile with soft tannins and a lingering finish of vanilla notes.

History:
The Primitivo grapes for Masso Antico are cultivated using the traditional “Alberello” vine training method, which dates back to ancient Mediterranean practices. This technique was designed to thrive in hot climates with limited water supply.

Regional Information:
Puglia, located in the southeastern "heel" of Italy, is renowned for its diverse winemaking traditions. While northern Puglia is more hilly and influenced by central Italian practices, the flat southern region retains strong Greco-Roman roots, reflected in its distinctive wines.
