In the glass, it displays an intense ruby red colour, revealing an aromatic profile marked by clear \u003cstrong\u003echerry notes\u003c\/strong\u003e and Mediterranean scrub, enhanced by balsamic nuances and hints of sweet spices. On the palate, it is full and substantial, dominated by deep blackberry flavours that lead the sip towards a persistent finish. The structure is supported by a well-defined \u003cstrong\u003etannic and mineral texture\u003c\/strong\u003e, offering a satisfying and characterful drinking experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe roots of this cru lie in Manduria, at the heart of a territory historically devoted to viticulture. The grapes come from \u003cstrong\u003eold vines\u003c\/strong\u003e trained as bush vines according to strict biodynamic principles, with plants over seventy-five years old. The soil, characterised by a \u003cstrong\u003edraining limestone substrate\u003c\/strong\u003e, is evident in the typical local red earth, ensuring optimal growing conditions. Yields are deliberately kept very low to maximise the concentration of aromatic compounds. The Morella winery thus shapes an \u003cstrong\u003eelegant profile\u003c\/strong\u003e that faithfully reflects the essence of its place of origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with meticulous hand harvesting to preserve the integrity of the bunches. In the winery, \u003cstrong\u003efermentation in small vats\u003c\/strong\u003e takes place with manual punch-downs and controlled temperature. This is followed by an extremely gentle pressing using a manual press, extracting only the noblest components of the must. The wine matures for twelve months in fine \u003cstrong\u003eAllier oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, then continues with a final ageing of at least twenty-four months. The absence of filtration preserves the original structure, resulting in an \u003cstrong\u003eunfiltered wine\u003c\/strong\u003e with an authentic and vibrant character.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in Manduria in 2001, the Morella winery presents “La Signora”, an exceptional cru that highlights the true elegance of \u003cstrong\u003ePrimitivo\u003c\/strong\u003e. This fine Salento IGT is produced from \u003cstrong\u003eancient bush vines\u003c\/strong\u003e over 75 years old, cultivated sustainably on red soils to ensure minimal yields and absolute aromatic concentration.
