Tenuta Patruno Perniola

About Winery and Wines

The Tenuta Patruno Perniola was founded at the beginning of the 19th century on a suggestive hill (350 mt. AMSL) near Gioia Del Colle in the center of the Murgia terroir, a karst plateau in the center of Apulia. The beating heart of the estate, 100% certified as organic is represented by the historic family “Masseria”, recently refurbished and turned into an agro touristic hotel The passion for winemaking has been handed down through several generations, preserving and enriching the features of the most important local wine variety, the Primitivo di Gioia del Colle.

The vineyard, cured with traditional techniques is on the side of the manor farm and is exposed to sun, wind flow, and important thermic excursions. These are the so-called “Red Lands”, calcareous soil rich in ferrous minerals which give the typical rusty color to the soil. Grapes are carefully selected in the vineyards and the cellar treatments are never invasive and don’t interfere with the full aromatic expression of the wines we produce, whose main characteristics are sophistication and elegance.

Apiculture, rich biodiversity, and strictly organic farming and production techniques confirm our full respect for the environment.

Our wines receive recognition every year in national and international wine competitions and wine guides.
