Producer: Masseria Borgo dei Trulli is an agricultural estate established in the finest wine-growing areas of Salento, particularly in Sava, Manduria, and Maruggio in the province of Taranto. Located in the Roselle district of Maruggio, just 5km from the Ionian Sea, the estate takes its name from the region's distinctive trulli saraceni scattered across the landscape. Built with respect for local traditions, the modern winery harmoniously combines state-of-the-art technology with a carefully restored historic masseria constructed from traditional tufo stone, creating a beautiful fusion of innovation and heritage.
Vintage: The 2022 vintage represents the pinnacle of traditional Apulian winemaking. The Primitivo grapes were hand-harvested after natural appassimento on the vine, allowing them to achieve exceptional sugar concentration. This DOCG designation requires grapes to be dried either on the vine or on special racks, with fermentation controlled at specific temperatures to stop the process before all sugars convert to alcohol, leaving natural residual sweetness. The wine was then aged in French and American oak barrels, creating this elegant expression of Puglia's ancient winemaking heritage. This wine is only made in selected vintages where the quality is good enough and usually only produce a few hundred bottles.
