ABOUT Felline is a well-known estate, which had a leading role in the Primitivo di Manduria success. It was also the main brand in the Accademia dei Racemi project, that started the renaissance of different original Apulian grapes. Felline takes its name from a large archaeological site near Manduria, close to the Jonian Sea, where signs of a very old city were found. That places are still related to a legend, which, even today, nourishes religious rites in honour of Saint Peter. It seems that Saint Peter left Antiochia in 45 a.C. to go to Rome, because he had to spread about the Christian Religion. His boat foundeered and he landed on a Manduria beach. Felline inhabitants gave him aid and he cured them and their King Fellone of leprosy by miracles. So they converted themselves to the new religion and Saint Peter continued on his way to Rome, where he founded the Catholic Church and become the first Pope of the History. DOWNLOAD OUR WINES CATALOG
