Cantine Antonio Ferrari

Antonio Ferrari developed a passion for Puglia’s land, its unique Primitivo varietal, and the local farmers while investing in a cellar before heading back to the hills of Piemonte. However, his heart remained in the South and looked to create a wine from this soil.

With the advanced state of the overripe grapes of 1959 dehydrating on the vines, Ferrari had the Primitivo grapes trucked up to his Piemonte vinification center. At the time he had calculated the potential alcohol content to be 21% and expected to create a historically big, high alcohol wine.
