Description

Cantine Cifarelli is located in the ‘arch of the Italian boot’ in the Basilicata region and it’s positioned on a hill a few miles from the Ionic Sea. The area has everything great wines need: hot, sunny days; cool nights; rocky & sandy soil complemented by the mild sea breeze.
While grapes were grown in the area for centuries, it was only 2011 when agronomist Vito Cifarelli decided to invest in his land in order to transform his grapes into wine of  excellence. Modern techniques and equipment, strong family traditions and a great respect for the terroir have created a small range of incredible wines. The award winning design of the bottles showing Horace quotes can only add to the experience.

Primitivo di San Vito, Cifarelli’s flagship wine, is only made in exceptional vintages in order to showcase the massive potential this often overlooked region has. A special selection of Primitivo grapes harvested at perfect maturity and aged for 12 months in oak barrels.
It matches grilled meat and full-flavoured sauces. Drink within 8 years at room temperature.
