Gianfranco’s and Simona’s adventure begins in 2004 with purchase of a small bush Primitivo vineyard of 1,3 ha.

The first main goal of the winery has been producing wines with a strong territorial identity and has soon been achieved thanks to the persistence of a young winegrower who loves to define himself as “craftsman of the vines”.

Gianfranco Fino has rightfully entered the range of those winegrowers tied to traditions whishing to save old vineyards and keep their features alive.

The vines mainly trained with small bush pugliese system and grow on limestone-clayey red soil and caressed by the breeze coming from Ionian sea and the warm Apulian sun.

Typicity and innovation are the core values that the winery achieves by adopting traditional growing techniques along with modern production processes.

Work in the vineyard is carefull and all operations are manual.

Harvest is carried out at first light the selected bunches are manually harvested in cases and located in refrigerator trucks for the transport to the cellar.

Destemming starts only in the afternoon when grapes have reached the right temperature.

The wines aged at least nine months in 228 litres French oak barriques.

Gianfranco and Simona have never stopped dreaming and believing in their dreams until another one came true: in 2021 the new winery with wine resort in Manduria was born surrounded by the wines and designed for welcoming and pamperign wine lovers.
