The balance of land and time
Some waits are worth more than others. Teresa Manara Primitivo is the final piece of a story that began with Chardonnay and continued with Negroamaro. A wine that completes the most important line, the one bearing Teresa Manara’s name. Not just a dedication, but a clear vision: elegance, identity, memory.
The Primitivo comes from the province of Taranto, where the grape has deep roots. Here, between stretches of red soil and winds coming from the sea, the vine has adapted over the centuries, finding a perfect balance between heat and freshness. The salty air softens the summer, the intense light accompanies maturation, and the poor, dry soil forces the roots to grow deep. It is here, beneath the surface, that the character of this wine is built.
But it doesn’t follow the beaten path. Here, balance matters more than power, finesse more than opulence. It is not sweetness that guides the sip, but depth. The fruit is rich, yet not excessive; the structure is solid but dynamic, supported by a freshness that gives it breath and lengthens the finish.
It is the style that Augusto Cantele always sought in his wines, and today Gianni carries it forward with the same vision. Teresa Manara Primitivo is measure and tension, an authentic expression of the grape and the land that made it great. It doesn’t follow trends. It surpasses them, leaving a mark destined to last.
