Label / history
Giravolta comes from the Felline winery, part of the "Accademia dei Racemi" project created by Gregory Perrucci. The estate plays a leading role in reviving Primitivo di Manduria and making fine wines from it. The winery takes its name from the ancient area of Felline, near Manduria on the Ionian Sea coast. According to legend, Saint Peter landed there in 45 AD while preaching Christianity on his way to Rome.
