Description

Explore Taranto Italy and Manduria Winery from Lecce: History and Primitivo Wine

 

Experience an unforgettable day exploring the historic wonders of Taranto Italy and the intoxicating aromas of Manduria winery famous for its Primitivo wine. Depart from Lecce in private transport and immerse yourself in a unique journey where archaeology and flavor come together to offer you authentic emotions in the heart of Puglia.

 

Discover Taranto Italy: The City of Two Seas

 

Begin your adventure in the charming historic center of Taranto Italy, one of southern Italy’s most fascinating and history-rich cities. Wander through its ancient streets, admire the sea embracing the city, and get swept away by stories of a millennia-old past. If you choose the guided option, an expert guide will reveal the secrets and wonders of this stunning coastal city.

 

The National Archaeological Museum of Taranto Italy: A Timeless Treasure

 

Visit the renowned MArTA – National Archaeological Museum of Taranto Italy, one of Italy’s most important museums. Founded in 1887, it occupies the former Convent of the Alcantarini Friars, a historic building dating back to the mid-18th century. After decades of restorations and re-arrangements, the museum now offers an extraordinary journey through Puglia’s prehistory, the Taranto necropolises, and Hellenistic funerary culture. Be captivated by gold artifacts, ceramics, and unique relics from the great Magna Graecia civilization.

 

Heading to Manduria Winery: The Homeland of Primitivo Wine

 

Continue your experience by venturing into the heart of the Puglian countryside to reach the stunning Masseria Cuturi, just a short distance from Manduria. Here, amid rows of vines and serene nature, indulge in a tasting of three labels from the Manduria winery: a white, a rosé, and of course the unmistakable deep red that has made this land famous.

 

Masseria Cuturi: Where True Manduria Winery Primitivo Is Born

 

The Masseria stands in the so-called "Conca d’Oro," a fertile and lush area thanks to natural springs and artesian wells. The vineyard covers about 40 hectares, kissed by the microclimate of the nearby Cuturi forest, a protected natural reserve. Here, cultivation follows organic farming principles, respecting biodiversity and soil vitality.

 

Artisanal Winemaking at Manduria Winery

 

The winemaking of Manduria Primitivo takes place directly at the Masseria, in small vats dedicated to the microvinification of each plot. Thanks to the close proximity between vineyard and cellar, the maturation of every single parcel is closely monitored. This artisanal process fully enhances the identity of this extraordinary grape variety.

 

An Authentic Experience of Culture and Puglian Flavors

 

Whether you are a history enthusiast or a wine lover, this tour between Taranto Italy and the Manduria winery promises an intense, authentic, and unforgettable day. Discover the roots of Puglia, savor the true Manduria Primitivo wine, and be enchanted by the unique atmospheres of these places suspended between past and present.
