History and Production
Montepetroso is a powerful expression of Primitivo di Manduria. The grapes are selected and harvested manually.

The distinctive feature of this wine is the significant aging in new wood (barriques and tonneau) for 18 months, which imparts aromatic complexity, structure, and a soft, velvety finish, making it an ideal wine for long aging.
