Winery
Produttori di Manduria is an older cooperative in Puglia.
The Cantina's adventure, began in 1928 when, a small group of "enlightened" winemakers taking over an old plant, created the "Wine Federation," an association of producers that four years later, on July 9, 1932 would formalize its legal form as a cooperative with the establishment of the "Consorzio Produttori Vini e Mosti rossi superiori da taglio per la zona di Manduria."
Today the Cantina has about 1,000 hectares of vines, half of which are still raised with the traditional alberello system, and strenuously defends the work of 400 small wine artisans, the only ones who can boast the appellation of Maestri in Primitivo.
