The Primitivo di Manduria Riserva wine is born in the Doppio Passo estate, which is part of the important Veneto Group Botter, owner of estates in various Italian regions. The vineyards are located in the municipality of Salice Salentino and cover a total area of 1,500 hectares. The climate is warm and dry, mitigated only by the sea breeze. The soils are mainly composed of clays and sands, resting on deep limestone substrates. Once the harvest is finished, the best bunches are destemmed and the grapes are subjected to a prefermentative maceration at a temperature of about 12 °C. The winemaking then proceeds in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with a maceration period on the skins of two to three weeks. The wine matures for a total period of 24 months, of which at least 9 are spent in wooden barrels.
