MASSERIA CUTURI
Between land and sea, an unforgettable experience.
In 1881 Tommaso Schiavoni Tafuri, a wealthy landowner from Manduria, prosperous
town of Puglia Salento, he married the countess Sabini, of Altamura.
The noblewoman brought Primitivo's "rooted cuttings" as a dowry (the "rooted" is a grafted vine cutting), which were planted in "Cuturi", in the fertile Conca D'Oro.

The Segreto di Bianca, Rosa di Cuturi, Zacinto and Tumà varietal wines enhance the indigenous varieties of the territory and enhance the characteristics while maintaining their lightness and freshness.
VINEYARD
The Conca d’oro, whose toponym derives from the fertility of its soils, was a unique plot of 100 hectares that extends between the Masseria and the sea.
The current vineyard is about 40 hectares and is particularly fertile thanks to the organic substance contained in the soils and the water of the slopes of the Chidro river that flows there.
SUSTAINABILITY
We work the land by hand and using only organically grown grapes, without the use of pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, chemical or synthetic fertilizers.
We consider the spontaneous essences that grow in the vineyard and help the soil to oxygenate and feed itself as a wealth. We use green manures: planting field beans or grasses between the rows and then burying them in the spring.
VINIFICATION
The vinification of our best grapes takes place within the Masseria, a few steps from the vineyards that generated them.
This proximity allows us to follow the maturation curve of each single particle with timeliness and precision.
The cellar is made up of small tanks to obtain the micro-vinification of each single plot.
