Manduria’s wines are world renowned, thanks to their unique organoleptic features.  Pirro Varone wines are cultivated along 15 hectares of vineyards  in “Contrada Surani”, a favourable area of Manduria’s countryside particularly suited for traditional grape varieties like Primitivo, Negramaro, an Malvasia Bianca. Beside them,  here grows also Fiano Minutolo, an ancient variety of Apulia dated back to the Roman Empire and recently rediscovered by Pirro Varone winery in order to exploit the noble wine growing tradition of this area. The excellent growing conditions of these vineyards are but the first step in a process that exhibits caring at every stage.  Twice a season grapes are culled from the vines to increase the quality of those remaining.  Less than half of the grapes produced for this rare wine will reach the harvest—less than 70q.li/ha.  The harvest is a community affair.  Many hands are needed to assure that the time between cutting and crushing is as short as possible, thereby safeguarding the delicate flavours of the grapes. Pirro Varone also draws attention to it self for its commitment towards the environment, its choice for organic cultivation and it constant pursuit of quality.

Pirro Varone wants to propose only authentic wines that represent its territory and respect its traditional methods, like manual harvest and rigorous bunch selection. The company strives to improve but always without compromises.
