Masseria Cuturi, a historic estate in Puglia, Italy, has been managed by the Rossi-Chauvenet family from Veneto since 1881. The property features a beautifully restored farmhouse and extensive land with woods, olive trees, and vineyards.

The farm, located in Manduria, has a rich history, and it’s believed that the Primitivo grape variety was first introduced to the region here. The story goes that Don Tommaso Schiavoni Tafuri, a previous owner, brought cuttings of the grape to the estate after marrying Countess Bianca Sabini of Altamura. The grape thrived in the local soil and climate, leading to the birth of the famous Apulian wine.

The estate spans 40 hectares, and its vineyards are exceptionally fertile due to the soil’s organic matter and water from the nearby Chidro River.

Masseria Cuturi is committed to sustainability, using organic farming methods to ensure high-quality wines while protecting the environment. This commitment extends to their winemaking process, which incorporates renewable energy, lightweight bottles, and corks made from sugarcane.

The best grapes are vinified right on the estate, just a short walk from the vineyards. This allows the winemakers to precisely monitor the maturation of each plot. The cellar is equipped with small tanks for the micro-vinification of individual parcels. They use wood aging sparingly to allow the wines’ natural qualities to shine through. The final product is also bottled directly at the winery.

Vinous ratings for Masseria Cuturi: nice reviews for these beautiful wines from Apulia.

“Monte Diavoli is the only elevation in the Cuturi estate. Once it was a place where the Messapians celebrated their rituals and guarded the sacred fire of fertility.
Today is still a very mysterious and fascinating place.”

“Chidro is a volcanic river that flows underneath the surface of Masseria Cuturi. It ends its run ian estuary to the Ionic Sea.
The encounter if sweet and salty water of these creates a fantastic microenvironment of plants and fishes’s species.Every year this is the favourite destination of hundreds of scuba divers.”

“The first flower of bunch is dedicated to Don Tommaso Schiavoni, who first planted this variety in Manduria in the Conca D’Oro of Masseria Cuturi.”

Masseria Cuturi…since 1881

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. It seems that the origin of Primitivo in the Mandurian land started precisely from Cuturi. Don Tommaso Schiavoni Tafuri married Countess Bianca Sabini of Altamura who brought Primitivo cuttings to these parts. This variety adapted very well to these soils and this climate and thus the famous Apulian wine was born.

Masseria Cuturi owns is about 40 hectares. The vineyards are particularly fertile thanks to the organic substance contained in the soils and the water of the Chidro River that flows there.

Masseria Cuturi emphasizes sustainable and organic farming practices to maintain the quality of their wines and preserve the environment.
For the wines they use renewable energy, lighter bottles, and corks obtained from renewable raw materials derived from sugar cane.

The vinification of the best grapes today takes place within the Masseria, a few steps from the vineyards.
This proximity allows them to follow the maturation curve of each single particle with timeliness and precision. The cellar is made up of small tanks to obtain the micro-vinification of each single plot.
They use the aging in wood in moderation to enhance the natural characteristics of our wines.
Bottling takes place in the cellar

Montepulciano d’Abruzzo
San Zopito 2019

Vinous Points

Tastingnote:

“The 2019 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo San Zopito is dusty in character, with a bouquet of dried roses and crushed cherries complicated by a whiff of flowery undergrowth.
Depths of ripe red fruit saturate the palate.
it is initially silky in feel, yet fine tannins settle in quickly, matched by brisk acidity.The 2019 finishes dramatically long and potent as a tart wild berry tinge adds chewy persistence.
Lose this in the cellar for a couple of years”

Eric Guido, 2025

Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo 2024

Vinous Points

Tastingnote:

“The 2024 Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo impresses with a mix of ripe fruit and earth tones complicated by wet stone and sage. it’s wickedly fresh and zesty, with. a complementary minty freshness. The 2024 doesn’t miss a beat, finishing long yet juicy, drenched in minerality and nearly crunchy in feel.”

Eric Guido, 2025

Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Riserva 2020

Vinous Points

Tastingnote:

“The hauntingly dark 2020 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Riserva smolders up with a whiff of crushed ashen stone lavender and citrus-laced blackberry. Silken and graceful despite its depth and complexity, this peppers the palate with masses of ripe red and black fruit underscored by tactile minerals. It leaves the sense drenched in primary concentration and is only gently tannic. Pleasantly bitter notes of licorice and spice linger on the finish.“

Eric Guido, 2025

Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Senza Sulfiti 2024

Vinous Points

Tastingnote:

“Candied blackberry mixed with dried violet and sweet somke aroma as the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Senza Sulfiti 2024 blossoms in the glass. This is a pure and vividly fruit-centic effort with cool-toned acidity that adds a racy edginess throughout. lue and purple inner florals resonate through the fiinish as the 2024 tapers off wickedly fresh. This is a total pleasure to taste nd a great value, but its low sulfur content may mean it won’t travel well.”

New awards Zenato

Stefania del Giudice — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 11:24:44 +0000

New awards Zenato: Vinous rated the Amarone Riserva 2013 and 2017 with respectively 97 and 95 Points. 93 Points for the Amarone Classico 2018 and for Lugana Riserva 2015.

Lugana Riserva Sergio Zenato 2015

Points

“The 2015 Lugana Riserva Sergio Zenato lifts from the glass with a rich blend of white flowers, raw almonds, baked apples and pears. It’s soothingly round, with a pleasant inner sweetness and ripe orchard fruits swirling over a juicy core of acidity. Minty herbs and hints of custard linger through the long and dramatic finale as the 2015 tapers off with youthful tension. Sweet inner florals resonate on the close. What a beauty! Now four years after its initial release, this is a total pleasure to taste.”

Eric Guido

Amarone Riserva Sergio Zenato 2017

Points

“The 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Sergio Zenato blossoms in the glass with a decadent bouquet that blends crushed violet candies, spiced blood orange and dried blueberries. This is silky smooth, nearly creamy in feel, with a dense wave of ripe red berry fruits contrasted by a bitter tinge of dark, dark chocolate. Despite its size (17% alcohol), a core of zesty acidity maintains amazing energy and freshness as the 2017 finishes dramatically long and intense, leaving a staining of tart wild berry fruit to linger.”

Eric Guido

Amarone Riserva Sergio Zenato 2013

Points

“The 2013 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Sergio Zenato is in a beautiful place in its evolution, bursting from the glass with a bouquet of crushed black cherries, plum sauce, cloves and flowery underbrush. This soothes with round and supple textures as depths of red and black fruits saturate, giving way to a tinge of bitterness—all balanced by a core of brisk acidity. The 2013 finishes with amazing length, classically dry and still youthfully tannic, with closing notes of balsamic and fresh mint. Wow. At ten years old, the 2013 remains youthfully poised and full of potential.”

Eric Guido

Amarone Classico 2018

Points

“The 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico opens with an herbal thrust that gives way to dried violets, lavender and crushed blackberries. It is sleek and racy in feel with lifted textures and tart wild berry fruits offset by zesty acidity. It tapers off long and staining, lifted by a bump of residual acidity as notes of red plum leave a pleasantly tart sensation. I quite like the energy here and expect that the 2018 will enjoy a broad and open drinking window.”
