Campofreddo is a small contrada on the coastal area in the southern province of Taranto. The soil is particularly sandy (around 40%); the climate is so dry that dryland farming can be carried out, i.e. a series of agronomic practices aimed at preventing water losses and facilitating absorption of the very low rainfall.
Campofreddo has a very thin layer of topsoil (just 60 cm compared to the average of almost 90/100 cm of the province), which makes this strip of land ideal for bush-vines farming. This vineyard, precious and old, has a high density (5/6000) of vines per hectare, heritage of our grandparents’ traditional viticulture; it also has a very low yield, allowing an astonishing concentration. The wine of this district, Concura Primitivo di Manduria Riserva DOP, has a rich and complex structure, backed by a pleasant sugar and alcohol content that blends harmoniously with its soft tannins.
The exceptional acidity is the result of the accurate agronomic and winemaking practices.
