Primitivo di Manduria Monte Diavoli

A bold, commanding Primitivo from the heart of Manduria, delivering layers of blackberry, black cherry, dried fig, and ripe plum wrapped in cocoa, sweet spice, and Mediterranean herbs.

“Monte Diavoli,” or “Devil’s Mountain,” is a name born from the ancient landscapes and folklore of southern Puglia. In the Manduria countryside, where sun, wind, and stone shape every vineyard row, certain hills were once described by local farmers as wild and untamed—places of intensity where the forces of nature felt especially present.  This wine reflects that same spirit. Sourced from organically farmed estate vineyards in the heart of Primitivo di Manduria, Monte Diavoli is a bold expression of place: sun-drenched, deeply rooted, and powerful in character.
