Wine description

Pilùna is a mono-varietal of Primitivo. The Castello Monaci company raises these grapes a few kilometers outside the DOC Primitivo di Manduria, therefore Pilùna falls within the specification of the IGT Salento. “Primitive” derives from "first native" as it is the first red berried variety to be ready for harvest. The name Pilùna indicates the ancient tufaceous containers in which oil and wine were stored. The grape variety used for its vinification is 100% pure Primitivo. The origin falls within the Protected Geographical Indication area of Puglia Salentina. For the vinification part of the wine matures for six months in barrique, the rest remains in steel; once blended, a wine with good aging potential is obtained, fruity and with a Mediterranean soul.
