Vinicola Mediterranea is based in San Pietro Vernotico, a small village in the heart of Salento, a Mediterranean land known for its climate, its colors, and its particular terroir. Wine has been produced here for many centuries. Our ancestors used to give thanks to the cooling influence of the sea breezes, the sun that warms and ripens the grapes, and the stony soils. Aware of this very high potential, in 1997 Giuseppe Marangio and Vito Epifani joined their forces and experiences in the wine field and created Vinicola Mediterranea to produce world class wines.

For the Primitivo, the musted grapes undergo a very long maceration, 12 to 14 days. Fermentation occurs in a temperature-controlled tank (26-28°) and after, the wine is dripped and pressed. After malolactic fermentation, the fresh wine is then poured off.
