About De Quarto Vitivinicoltori

We have been winemakers in Lizzano, between Taranto and Manduria, for five generations, in the area of choice of Primitivo di Manduria. Our vineyards are located one kilometer from the sea and we vinify, personally and integrally following the supply chain, grapes owned and from native vines in the ancient family millstone, according to the organic and natural method, with the aim of obtaining wines that express authentically our territory. Born of a synergy between nature and man's work, our wine is an artisanal product, supported by a deep knowledge of the territory and experience in the winemaking technique, with the least possible technological intervention, therefore without the use of chemical additives and manipulations that alter its characteristics. The vineyards are planted at high density on calcareous soils and are affected by the breeze coming from the nearby sea, and the yield of the grapes is very low; irrigation, weeding and fertilization are not carried out and a virtuous coexistence between plant and animal species is requested in the vineyard. Through manual harvesting, healthy grapes are selected to be taken to the cellar, where, without the use of adjuvants and chemical additives, the must ferments spontaneously with indigenous yeasts; practices that alter the physiognomy of the wine are also banned.Read their story
