Cantina e Oleificio Sociale di Fragagnano

In the Tarantino area, Cantina e Oleificio Sociale di Fragagnano operates as a cooperative hub with a dual soul, both viticultural and olive oil production. Its flagship wine is made from the Primitivo grape, characteristic of the area, and delivers the intensity of dried fruit and Mediterranean scrub notes that define the character of this part of southern Puglia. The single denomination, Primitivo di Manduria Dolce Naturale DOCG, extends over nineteen municipalities and approximately five thousand hectares, where the Ionian climate meets calcareous soil. It is a naturally sweet red with a minimum alcohol content of sixteen percent, the result of an interaction between soil and sun rigorously codified by the production regulations. The winery's dual identity, winemaking and olive pressing, reflects agricultural roots broader than just the vine. Since the early 2000s, when the Primitivo consortium gained legal recognition, its members have consolidated the quality standards of the area. Here, the collective purpose becomes the true working tool, capable of transforming a peasant tradition into wines of depth and recognizable regional identity.
