Giuseppe Attanasio
Every interpretation of Primitivo di Manduria.
The Attanasio estate is deeply rooted in the territory of Manduria, in Puglia. Alessandro Attanasio represents the fourth generation of winemakers; however, it was his father, Giuseppe, who first brought the winery into the world of bottled Primitivo. The estate’s artisanal character is clear to see in the vineyard, in the glass, and even on the labels, which are personally created by Giuseppe.

The winery’s identity is deeply tied to the bush vines — some of which are centuries-old — that define the vineyards. The open canopy, loose bunches, and thinned-out clusters favor the complete ripening of the grapes and the concentration typical of Primitivo. The estate’s philosophy can be summed up in a single formula: one grape variety, five different interpretations of Primitivo di Manduria, producing a total of around twenty-five thousand bottles per year. Vinification is carried out at a controlled temperature using traditional techniques: punching down, gentle pressing with a hydraulic press, and tailored aging. Amphorae are used for the rosé, while concrete and oak barriques are chosen for the reds. The cellar is housed in an early 20th-century oil mill and accommodates, alongside stainless steel tanks, the barrel room, underground concrete vats, and aging amphorae.
Centenarian vines,
one philosophy.
