Description
Near Manduria there is a residence of yesteryear surrounded by ancient Primitivo vineyards with a sapling over 70 years of age ‘closed’ by a dry stone wall. In France, some of the best vineyards are closed by walls or walls; in the past, in fact, Cistercian monks used to divide or close some parcels of vineyard with walls when, literally tasting the land, they perceived changes in the mineral composition of the same.
The fruits deriving from these ‘closed’ or ‘Clos’ vineyards would therefore have been of different qualities and maximum expression of that micro soil.
Taking up this tradition, Felice Mergé is the promoter and executor of the ‘closed winery’ project, emphasizing a very small area through the production of a new wine: the Primitivo di Manduria Riserva ‘Piano Chiuso’, the maximum expression of a territory with still little known origins.
