Primitivo Salento Tumà

Wines

In 1881, the Countess Sabini brought the first cuttings of Primitivo to the Manduria area with husband Don Tommaso. They planted the first Primitivo vineyard in Manduria and so began the story of this land as a treasured site for the grape. Tumà, nickname for Don Tommaso, is the face of the Primitivo.

A rich, expressive Primitivo from the sun-drenched vineyards of southern Puglia. Bursting with ripe blackberry, black cherry, dried fig, and plum, layered with notes of cocoa, sweet spice, and Mediterranean herbs.
