Recastro Primitivo
Recastro is the name of a historic estate from 1830 belonging to the Di Carlo family.
In the hinterland, a stone’s throw from the sea, this early-ripening grape variety imported by the Illyrians over 2000 years ago is the most ancient, ancestral and esoteric expression of central-southern Italy. Timeless history and emotions make this wine a must-have for any portfolio.
