Where wine takes center stage
Spazio Primitivo was born in Manduria, in the historic winery of Costantino Perrucci which, from the 70s to the end of the 90s, exported hundreds of millions of liters of bulk wine throughout Europe.
Spazio Primitivo was born in Manduria and from the 70s until the end of the 90s it exported hundreds of millions of liters of bulk wine throughout Europe.
A place of unique charm, with its underground cisterns and industrial plants that made the daily loading of entire ships of wine simple and fast, from the ports of Gallipoli, Taranto and Brindisi.
Spazio Primitivo now hosts the Felline Wine Library and, in its 400 square meters with more than 100 seats, welcomes new initiatives, events and activities centered on the wine culture.
A container that contains in its name – Primitivo – the history of the territory and its vine, but also a primordial way of thinking about cultural entertainment, free from constraints and clichés.

Through collaboration with viticulturists from different territories of the region and oenologists with experience in quality winemaking, new productions from grapes that had until then been completely neglected or unknown are “offered” to the knowledge of journalists and importers: Ottavianello, Susumaniello (recovered by Gregory with the Torre Guaceto company), Fiano Minutolo (Sammartino company), as well as new versions of Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera (Castel di Salve company), Moscato Reale di Trani (De Filippo company), Troia and Montepulciano grapes (Paolo Petrilli company) and obviously the zoning of Primitivo (red, white, black earth and sand).
The Accademia dei Racemi includes among its consultants, in addition to Roberto Cipresso and Fabrizio Perrucci, Enzo Moiso and Luca Boaretti. Some companies created by the Accademia dei Racemi are still present with honor on the market. In addition to being talked about for its wines, the Accademia dei Racemi becomes a unique reference in the regional panorama for research, the study and experimentation of native vines.
For the examinations conducted on the relationships between Primitivo and Zinfandel, the history and experiments, as well as the request to update the list of synonyms regulated by the European Union, Gregory Perrucci is admitted as the only “non-American member” in the prestigious Californian association called Zap (Zinfandel Advocates and Producers).
A few years later, precisely in June 2002 after the scientific decree of the identity between Zinfandel and Primitivo, as well as between them and the Croatian Crnjelak Kastelansky, he was a speaker at the first International Conference on Zinfandel.
He gives a talk on the origins of primitivo and its relationship with Zagarese (who has passed away) in a joint session with Doug Beckett (Californian winemaker) and the legendary Miljenko Grgich, an icon of American winemaking for having produced two of the wines that defeated the French wines in the 1976 world blind competition in Paris.
