A trip to the traditions in the land of Primitivo Wine
This is one of those local museums that focus on territory and community: on the tools, images and voices of those who made and used them in a simpler time and place; one based on work, food, wine, traditional feasts, music, techniques and skills.
A special museum, one of those that anthropologist call Demo-Ethno-Anthropologic. DEA museums come about spontaneously, created by will of individuals, groups or associations to preserve collections, objects and testimonials of a local culture.
Our museum is located inside the Winery ‘Produttori Vini Manduria’; it has been in existence for over 10 years. A representation of the ancient ways of wine making for the benefit of today’s visitor in a 19th Century setting! Agriculture as the identity of a community through the preservation and valorization of local typical eno-gastronomic products.
Our community objectives are achieved with a winery open to the public; the local traditions are explained as you taste our wine and food. This museum is a bridge between the past and present of agriculture, of winemaking at the rythm and with the gestures of yesterdays and today’s farmers.
