Festa del Primitivo
Manduria's celebration of its signature Primitivo grape in the heart of Puglia's sun-drenched wine country. Local producers pour rich, fruit-forward Primitivo di Manduria DOC alongside traditional Puglian street food. The festival highlights the renaissance of southern Italian winemaking and the ancient vine heritage of Salento.
