Gianfranco Fino: A Journey Through Exceptional Wines
The Birth of a Vineyard
The domain was created in 2004 by the purchase of a small vineyard of 1.3 hectares in the countryside of Manduria. Today, Gianfranco Fino owns about 14.5 hectares of agricultural land. From the beginning, the mission of the company was to produce wines from old vines 50 to 90 years with a strong local identity.
A Legacy of Awards and Recognition
Since its first vintage in 2004, Gianfranco Fino has won the most important national awards, bringing even to Puglia in 2010 the title of "Winemaker of the Year". The award from Gambero Rosso was never before given in central or southern Italy. Other winners of this award include renowned names such as Josko Gravner, Elio Altare, Romano Dal Forno, and Marinella Camerani.
Es Primitivo: A Wine That Captivates All
His great wine Es Primitivo attests that since its first vintage it immediately attracted attention from specialists, journalists, and bloggers who fell in love with it... Robert Parker has even compared it with Romano dal Forno, hoisting up Es Primitivo to one of the highest notes ever given in the region by his famous guide. Whether you love it or not, Es is undoubtedly one of those wines that leaves no one indifferent.
