Winery L'Archetipo

The Dibenedetto family has been working the land in the Contrada San Giorgio/Contrada Tafuri area since the 1970s; in the 1990s the business moved into bottling, while the modern winery in Contrada Tafuri was developed in the following decade. From 2010 onwards the estate consolidated its identity by promoting the recovery of local varieties and experimenting with natural sparkling winemaking. In 2016 L’Archetipo was included in the Triple A catalog, a recognition mentioned by the winery itself.

Farming practices based on Agricoltura Sinergica: minimal soil disturbance, no pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and companion planting. In the cellar, spontaneous fermentations with indigenous yeasts are favored, filtration is limited or absent, and a minimal-intervention approach is taken to sulfite management.

Based in Castellaneta in the Puglia region, with vineyards in the Murgia/Taranto area and some bottlings labeled Salento IGP.

Inclusion in the Triple A catalog and appearances and mentions at industry events and in trade publications, as reported by the winery.
