Masseria Tagaro – Locorotondo, Puglia
Masseria Tagaro is a passionate family estate from Locorotondo, in the Valle d'Itria area of central Puglia, producing wines from indigenous Apulian varieties with a particular focus on Primitivo and the extremely rare Susumaniello. The estate represents the finest tradition of Apulian viticulture: old vines, ancient varieties, minimal intervention and a deep connection to the land that has been passed down through generations. Masseria Tagaro di Lorusso gained international recognition through its collaboration with the Crazy Zin & Master Zin project, which celebrates the genetic connection between Primitivo and Californian Zinfandel, but its commitment to authentic Puglian winemaking goes far beyond any single project.
Susumaniello and Primitivo: Puglia's rarest treasures
Susumaniello is one of Puglia's rarest and most fascinating indigenous varieties, once nearly extinct and now lovingly rescued by committed producers like Masseria Tagaro. The variety produces wines of deep colour, intense perfume and a complexity that surprises those unfamiliar with it – a true discovery wine for lovers of Italian indigenous varieties. Primitivo, the variety that Masseria Tagaro is also celebrated for, needs no introduction: powerful, warm, richly fruited and deeply Mediterranean in character, Primitivo from Puglia is one of Italy's most beloved red varieties. Masseria Tagaro's old-vine Primitivo, made from vines that have been producing fruit for many decades, is a wine of exceptional depth and concentration.
