| Story | Tenuta Carrubo estate is located in the countryside surrounding the city of Fragagnano (Taranto), in Manduria’s DOC territory, at about 120 meters (394 feet) above sea level. The estate’s 40 hectares of vineyards are cultivated with the area’s historic grape varieties. Primitivo thrives in this territory benefitting from calcareous soils, typically reddish in color and from the climate defined by hot summers with excellent temperature fluctuations between day and night. Vines in the historic vineyards are alberate trained while the newer vines have a vertical trellis training system. Carrubo is produced from a careful selection of grapes from the estate’s vineyards and was crafted from the desire to represent the distinct character and charm of the Apulian territory through the main grape variety in this appellation: Primitivo. |
