The wine of Puglia Primitivo di Manduria owes its name to the Latin term primativus, that is “early”, precisely because the grapes of this wine ripen before the others and in August the harvest can begin. It was the Illyrians, ancient population of Croatia, who brought this wine of Puglia, where it adapted to perfection. The first certain historical traces of the red wine of Puglia Primitivo date back to the eighteenth century, when Don Francesco Filippo Indelicati, an ecclesiastic of Gioia del Colle, selected it and baptized it with the name of Primitivo. The wine of Puglia Primitivo is often grown as a sapling, with a very low production but of extreme quality. It is a very long-lived type of wine, in fact, it is possible to find wines older than 80 years, still in production.

Carlo Attanasio Wine is the other Apulian proposal of UFarmer. The Azienda Agricola Attanasio has over time analyzed the study of several processing schools, including the Piedmontese, French, Spanish and Portuguese, managing to shape international wines that retain their native authenticity. This farm has a vineyard of 53 hectares, developed in a temperate climate, thanks to the proximity of the Adriatic and Ionian coasts and constant exposure to the sun. The peculiarity of this reality is exclusively in monovarietal wines, produced from autochthonous grapes.
Carlo Attanasio’s proposals are “Negroamaro Azurìo”, a wine from Puglia that is the result of the late harvest of the grapes, the long vinification at controlled temperature and the extraordinary complexity of the French oak barriques of medium toasting. Carlo Attanasio also proposes “Primitivo Blue Royal”, a red wine from Puglia produced with Primitivo grapes, a full-bodied, round and balanced Apulian wine with evident fruity notes.
