The Wine Museum of Primitive Wine is situated within the Wine Manufacturers Cellars of Manduria. It was created from the idea of a cooperative winery with the aim of enhancing the knowledge of the region in the cultivation of grapes. The Museum is located in the nineteenth century cellar with a vaulted ceiling and displays two sections. The first is related to the knowledge of daily life objects and agricultural works that have been a big part of the region’s economy. The second section displays antique machineries for wine production. Documents on the agricultural world are also visible. The museum now hosts conferences and numerous cultural events.
