Masseria Altemura is located in the heart of Puglia, halfway between the Ionian and the Adriatic Seas. A unique terroir, thanks to the extraordinary light, the fresh perennial breezes of the two seas and land dominated by white limestone rocks and the red soil of Salento. The estate extends within the Primitivo di Manduria DOC denomination, in the Province of Brindisi, and consists of an ancient 17th-century Masseria (farmhouse) and a contemporary-style winery in a singe location, surrounded by lush green vineyards and olive groves.

The grapes are subjected to a soft pressing and then to fermentation for 5-6 days at a temperature of 17 °C. The wine ages for about 3 months in steel and for a further period in the bottle.
