The grapes for the POPs grow according to the old Alberello method with a very low yield. With the albarello method, the vines are not supported by poles or iron wire, so the vines form a low shrub that resembles a small tree (Alberello means 'young tree' in Italian). It is very expensive to grow grapes this way because far fewer vines can be planted per hectare, the amount of manual work in the vineyard because there is no machine involved, and the low yields. The advantage, however, is that the grapes are of very high quality. The harvest for all 4 Puglia POP wines takes place in early September and is carried out completely manually. At Puglia POP everything takes a very long time and this ensures, among other things, the high quality. After manual picking, the grapes are immediately pressed, after which the must remains on its lees and with natural yeasts for more than a month in stainless steel tanks. After this, the wine is transferred to amphorae made of clay where it is allowed to mature for 6 months followed by another 6 months in French and American oak barriques. The Puglia POP wines are unique in their kind. Extremely high quality and that together with a great, very exclusive design. Very high Vivino rating by consumers and despite a very short existence (these wines only came onto the market at the end of 2020), they have now also received beautiful awards from the wine press. Ultimately, the wine is bottled in its very innovative bottle, which insulates the wine 45% better against temperature changes and 100% protects it from light than a normal wine bottle. This keeps the wine fresh for longer and allows you to drink the wine as the winemaker intended, without unpleasant external influences. The bottle is also 100% recyclable and contributes to social projects in Puglia.

FACT: The Puglia POP Luminaria Primitivo di Manduria received 4.5* stars in the Press Wine special of October 2022 and had the highest rating of all Primitivio Manduria wines from the blind tasting.
