Slow Wine 2025: the results of the 2025 edition are out. Cantina Paltrinieri, Masseria Cuturi and Palazzone received the prize Top Wine.

Congratulations!!

About the guide:

A TOP WINE / VINO SLOW is the recognition to wines that represent an expression of place, originality, and history. A BEST BUY award is assigned to the wines with an excellent Quality-price ratio.

Slow Wine Editorial Team

A SNAIL is given to a winery “that we particularly like for the way it interprets Slow Food values (sensory perceptions, territory, environment, identity).” Their wines represent the terroir, have a good quality-price ratio considering the environment they are produced in and represent a paragon of sustainable viticulture! We can surely say that, among the prizes we assign every year, this one is the closest to our values."

Slow Wine Editorial Team

The BOTTLE goes to wineries whose wines represent benchmarks in quality.

Moreover we are proud to inform you that Masseria Cuturi and Palazzone received a Snail too.

Masseria Cuturi: we are talking about a family, originally from Veneto managing this beautiful estate in Puglia which includes a skilfully renovated farmhouse and many hectares of land. Among the woods, olive trees and vineyards. The Rossi-Chauvenets acquire a reality full of history. The farm, located in Manduria, was founded in 1881 and for centuries belonged to the Schiavoni family.

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 Chidro River that flows there.

Monte Diavoli Is a rocky formation that stands isolated in the middle of a vast flat area dominated by the Mediterranean Macchia. In the past it was the place where the Messapi kept the sacred fire of the rites of fertility. Today as then it is a mysterious and fascinating place.

In 1969 the Dubini family bought the property “Palazzone”, constructed by Cardinal Teodorico at the bidding of Pope Boniface VIII as a hostel for pilgrims on their way to Rome to celebrate the Jubilee of 1300 A.D.

The nature of the rocks of this area is made up of clays, silts and sands; 2.5 million years ago there was a seabed which have accumulated the finer sediments transported by ancient rivers that crossed what were then the few areas emerged.
24 hectares of vineyards planted on the hillside close to Orvieto, between 210 and 340 mts a.s.l. cultivated with the traditional grapes of Orvieto such as Procanico and Grechetto primarily, but also Verdello and Malvasia grapes.
