Plantamura is the work of Mariangela Plantamura and her husband  Vincenzo. Vincenzo manages the vineyards, Mariangela the cellar. Their family has been growing Primitivo for more than a century, and they started bottling their own wines in 2002. They produce only Primitivo, in three different bottlings, differing mostly in the age of the vineyards; less than 4,000 cases are produced in total.  All the vineyards are planted using massale selection, which is to say they propagate a number of the best old vines on their estate to create new vineyards, rather than buying clones from a nursery. They look for plants that have the traditional Primitivo bunches, which may contain berries that vary a lot in size (this is sometimes called ‘hen and chicks’), and for naturally low yields. Grasses are cultivated between the rows during the growing season; although this is a dry part of Italy, no irrigation in used.
