ANTILUPO
Salento I.G.P. - Protect Geographical Indication

For the moment, let’s forget about the classical Primitivo from Manduria and Gioia del Colle. Antilupo is ennobled by the site where the vines grow. Grapes develop their fine bouquet in the middle of Mediterranean essence such as myrtle and rosemary, wild sage and arbutus. To crown its excellence we have a happy marriage with Cabernet. The result is a wine found somewhere between tradition and innovation.
