The "Cubardi" comes from Primitivo grapes cultivated as a sapling in Nardò, in the province of Lecce. The grapes harvested all from own vineyards located in the territory of Nardò, are harvested by hand and gently stored in small boxes ventilated to preserve the integrity. In the cellar they are then further selected on a modern sorting table. It follows a fermentation in steel at controlled temperature, the aging is for 6 months in barrels of second passage; then, 8 months of further aging in bottle.
