History
Morella was founded in 2000 by Australian winemaker Lisa Gilbee and her husband Gaetano Morella, drawn to Manduria by its ancient bush-trained Primitivo vines. The estate built its reputation on low-yield old-vine fruit and a hands-off cellar, with Old Vines and La Signora among the wines that helped raise the profile of serious Primitivo di Manduria.
