WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Masseria Borgo dei Trulli Primitivo di Manduria begins with hand-harvested grapes from low-yielding vineyards. The grapes are de-stemmed and vinified as whole clusters. Alcoholic fermentation occurs in thermo-regulated steel tanks over 8-10 days, followed by induced malolactic fermentation. Aging involves 40% of the wine in French and American oak barrels for eight months, while the remaining 60% rests in steel tanks.
