History and Winemaking

Cubardi is made from Primitivo grapes sourced from **bush vines over 60 years old**. The grapes, hand-harvested, are carefully selected on a sorting table. After fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, the wine matures for **6 months in French oak tonneaux** (second pass, to avoid excessive wood influence) and completes aging with **8 months in the bottle**, developing its strong and stubborn personality.
