Stilio Limited Edition is born in the sun‑drenched terroir of Manduria in Apulia, where old Primitivo vines grow in poor, rocky soils rich in minerals, under hot days and cooling breezes from the nearby seas. This climate delivers naturally low yields of intensely flavored grapes. The fruit is harvested at optimal ripeness to maximize concentration and aromatic complexity. In the cellar, a prolonged maceration with délestage (rack‑and‑return) extracts color, tannin and aroma in a controlled, gentle way, contributing to the wine’s greater structure and higher alcohol. The wine then undergoes about one year of aging—partly in oak—allowing its organoleptic profile to become more defined, rounding out the texture and amplifying its hallmark intensity.

Deep ruby red with garnet highlights at the rim, hinting at its richness and concentration. The nose is generous and enveloping, offering layers of ripe black plum, blackberry jam and dark cherry, intertwined with sweet spices, vanilla, licorice, cocoa and a touch of dried figs and tobacco. On the palate, this Primitivo di Manduria is full-bodied, warm and velvety, with elevated alcohol that is beautifully balanced by dense, ripe fruit and polished tannins. Flavors of macerated black fruits, prune, chocolate, exotic spice and a subtle balsamic note unfold in waves, leading to a long, persistent finish.
