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
