The winery's journey began when the Soloperto grandparents recognized the potential of the land and established one of the region's first wine commerce companies. In the late 1960s, Giovanni Soloperto took a groundbreaking step by bottling pure Primitivo in his small cellar, even before the DOC law was established, marking the beginning of a tradition that would shape the future of the winery.

Each bottle embodies the rich history and terroir of Apulia, delivering a unique taste of the region to the world. Giovanni Soloperto's legacy continues through his children, Sabrina and Ernesto, who now run the winery. Their mission remains the same as their father's: to champion the Primitivo grape and to restore dignity and pride to the land and its people. Giovanni's pioneering spirit and vision, from offering better prices to local grape growers to putting Primitivo di Manduria on the map, are the foundation of the winery's ongoing success.
