Primitivo vineyards close to the dunes are today very rare, just the few that escaped the rush of “holiday construction”. These are proof of an ancient and unique viticulture characterized by very low yields per plant, where you can still see ungrafted vines.

The Primitivo obtained from these vineyards is powerful, intense and, following an appropriate refinement in French barriques, expresses itself with a long sequence of complex notes: from ripe fruit to dried figs, almonds, cloves, helichrysum. It shows fullness and elegance on the palate, recalling cherries in alcohol, tobacco and dried fruit notes that persist in a very long aftertaste.

The harvest of the Dunico (unique in the dunes) – is quite premature and usually takes place through the last week of August.

There is a strong sense of responsibility within the Felline Family. As top man Gregory Perrucci himself puts it they have “Values, knowledge, traditions and experiences that constitute a precious heritage with which we support our work in the vineyards, in the winery, on the markets around the world. Among the people. We call it Culture, the French say Terroir.” Gregory dedicates himself to Primitivo, to the purchase of interesting vineyards and to modern winemaking techniques, many of which learned during his numerous trips to California. Trips in which he also investigates the link between Primitivo and Californian Zinfandel. Felline is the go-to place for the best for the area’s Primitivos.
