The story behind it

The maker

Varvaglione 1921 is a historic, family-run winery located in the heart of Puglia, Italy. Guided by three generations of winemakers, they combine traditional viticultural methods with modern technology to produce exceptional, authentic southern Italian wines.

How it is made

Crafted in the Salento region of Puglia, this wine showcases the potential of Primitivo harvested at an optimal ripeness to maintain a lighter alcohol level. It undergoes controlled-temperature fermentation and is aged for several months in premium American oak barriques.
