We have dedicated ourselves to the land, viticulture and wine for three generations, following the events of history, of our family, of our community.
Primitivo, as with all the families in Manduria, has been the theme of our lives.
We have developed visions, nurtured dreams and imagined the future around it. Without ever neglecting to look at the past, at what has been handed down to us in terms of values, knowledge, traditions, experiences.
Values, knowledge, traditions and experiences that constitute a precious heritage with which we support our work in the vineyards, in the winery, on the markets around the world. Among the people.
We call it Culture, the French say Terroir.
And it is in our cultural origins, in our peasant roots, wise and sensitive to Nature, that we find, nowadays, the morals to face our new responsibilities: those coming from the challenges that Humanity is posing to itself and to the Earth hosting it.
We confidently hand over the baton to future generations: promoting a production from sustainable agriculture that respects biodiversity.
Despite a strong international vocation, we have always wanted to maintain a peculiar trait of informality in the various managing aspects of our company.
In addition to the existing family relations between several members of our team, there is a deep emotional bond between all those working in the vineyards, in the winery and in the administrative office, a legacy of the past derived from the ancient peasant solidarity of our forerunners.
Nonostante la forte vocazione internazionale, abbiamo voluto mantenere sempre
una peculiare caratteristica di informalità nei vari aspetti della gestione della nostra azienda.
Oltre alle numerose relazioni parentali che intercorrono tra i vari membri del nostro team, vi è un profondo legame di tipo familiare tra tutti coloro che operano nelle vigne, in cantina e in amministrazione, retaggio dell’antica solidarietà contadina dei nostri precursori.

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.
