Description

A rich and opulent expression of Primitivo, showcasing deep ruby hues and intense aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and dark cherries, interwoven with notes of vanilla, sweet spice, and a hint of tobacco from its time in oak. On the palate, it offers a luscious, full-bodied texture with velvety tannins and well-balanced acidity, enhancing flavours of dried figs, cocoa, and a touch of black pepper. The long, warming finish leaves lingering traces of dark chocolate and espresso, making it an excellent match for slow-braised meats, aged cheeses, or simply to savour on its own.

Masseria Surani

Masseria Surani, located in Puglia’s Manduria region, is a winery dedicated to producing high-quality wines that reflect the area's rich winemaking heritage. Part of the Tommasi Family Estates, the winery follows sustainable farming practices, carefully managing vineyard biodiversity and using minimal intervention techniques to preserve the purity of the fruit. Grapes are hand-harvested and vinified using modern technology while respecting traditional methods.

The winery focuses on indigenous varieties such as Primitivo, Negroamaro, and Fiano, crafting wines that balance richness with freshness. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to maintain vibrant aromatics, while selective aging in oak barrels adds depth and complexity. The resulting wines are elegant, well-structured, and expressive of Puglia’s sun-drenched terroir, combining ripe fruit, balanced acidity, and a smooth, refined finish. Masseria Surani is committed to showcasing the potential of Southern Italy’s native grape varieties through thoughtful, quality-driven winemaking.

Puglia

Puglia, located in the southeastern part of Italy, is a prominent wine region known for its rich history and vibrant wine culture. Often referred to as the "heel" of Italy's boot, it has been producing wine for thousands of years, with viticulture deeply rooted in its ancient Greek and Roman heritage.

Puglia's warm Mediterranean climate, with abundant sunshine and cooling sea breezes, creates ideal conditions for growing robust and flavorful grapes. The area is particularly renowned for its red wines, with Primitivo and Negroamaro being the standout varieties. Primitivo, closely related to California's Zinfandel, produces bold, fruit-forward wines with high alcohol content, while Negroamaro is known for its deep color and complex flavors, often with hints of dark fruit and spices.

Puglia also produces notable rosé wines, particularly from the Salento area, and a range of full-bodied white wines, making it one of Italy's most diverse and dynamic wine regions.
