Felline Primitivo di Manduria

Felline is a pioneering winery in Manduria, Puglia, led by Gregory Perrucci, who was instrumental in elevating the status of Primitivo in the region. The vineyards lie just 10km from the Gulf of Taranto, planted on iron-rich red soils that contribute to the wine’s distinctive minerality. The estate is part of the Accademia dei Racemi, a research-driven collective focused on native grape varieties and soil expression.

Harvested manually in early September, the grapes undergo fermentation followed by six months of ageing in French oak barrels. This process enhances structure and complexity while preserving the vibrant fruit character. The result is a bold, expressive red with finesse and depth.

• Aromas of cherry, red berries and balsamic from oak ageing.
• Ripe fruit on the palate balanced by bright acidity.
• Felline Primitivo di Manduria finishes with smooth tannins and vibrant mineral lift.

Pairs well with rich tomato pasta, grilled meats and aged cheeses.
