Wine Wedding
Your wedding in Salento
The Wine Wedding at Masseria Cuturi is an authentic and totally immersive experience that goes beyond a simple reception.
Brides, grooms, and guests will not only enjoy the evocative panorama of one of the oldest wineries in Puglia, but will also become absolute protagonists in the creation of a unique wine, entirely vinified on the wedding day itself, as a seal of your love.
The Wine Wedding at Masseria Cuturi is not a simple marriage, but a conscious and authentic choice. It is the desire to restore the values of the past, roots, and the bond with the land, guarded by a love story that dates back to 1881, when the marriage between Don Tommaso Schiavoni and Countess Sabini d'Altamura gave rise to the birth of Primitivo di Manduria. Today, that same timeless magic still lives within these walls, reflecting those who choose a different and unique wedding, made of true emotions, moments lived intensely with loved ones, and sensations that can only be perceived through the soul.

The Rite of Birth
This rite wants to recall the beginning of life and the magic of binding one's love to the development of a rooted root (branch) of Primitivo.
The ritual provides for the spouses the possibility of planting a small Primitivo plant (or other vine chosen by the spouses) in the presence of a celebrant and all their guests in a special cloister dedicated to this rite. That small vine root, planted in the Garden of Love, is a way to tie one's affection to the growth of a plant that will produce fruits capable, over time, of offering even greater emotions.
-
The Rite of Dionysus
This rite is the central part of the Wine Wedding. The bride and groom each choose a barrique and then combine them in a demijohn in front of all the guests and from there they are bottled in a single specimen, a 1.5 liter magnum. The bottle will be placed in a special wooden case which, together with the letter written by each groom before the ritual, will be kept in the cellar and then delivered to the bride and groom in a special ceremony at the end of the aging period.

The Rite of Refinement
The couple who have produced their own unique blend of wine with the Rite of Dionysus will be able to request to refine their bottles in the Cuturi cellar and use that same blend to produce unique bottles, with an ad hoc designed label.
