Advice to enjoy this wine at its best.

Let’s talk about Primitivo di Manduria DOC - Le Cerrate - Masseria Li Veli

More questions

The Primitivo di Manduria Le Cerrate from Masseria Li Veli presents an enveloping, Mediterranean character: on the nose ripe red and black fruits, plum and a slight vein of spirit-soaked cherry emerge, accompanied by hints of sweet spices and tobacco that do not overpower. On the palate it is full and warm, with good structure and silky tannins that support the softness without weighing it down; freshness and a subtle saline note maintain the balance and give a pleasant, straightforward finish.

It is a wine to pair with substantial dishes: grilled meats, stews, hearty ragùs and aged cheeses find a natural companion in this Primitivo. Letting it breathe in a decanter or the opened bottle helps to open up more complex aromas; serve slightly cool, around 16–18 °C, to fully appreciate its warmth and softness without losing finesse.

The story
The masseria originated on a very ancient settlement and was renovated in the late 19th century by Marquis Antonio de Viti de Marco with the aim of making it a winemaking model for southern Italy. At the end of the 20th century the property was revitalized by a group led by Tuscan interests. In 1999 the project was re-established by the Falvo family and, after a period of development, brothers Edoardo and Alfredo Falvo assumed direct leadership of the estate, expanding production and strengthening the brand’s positioning.
Production philosophy
The estate embraces an approach based on hard work, family, authenticity and a sense of brotherhood: a commitment to respect the land, artisanal care in the vineyard and cellar, and a desire to pass values between generations, combining local tradition with technical precision in winemaking.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate is located in the Salento region, between the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, in the municipality of Cellino San Marco. The site bears traces of ancient settlements and underscores the estate’s strong ties to the Salento plain and the Mediterranean climate that characterizes the area.
