The vineyards, cultivated using the traditional \u003cstrong\u003ealberello\u003c\/strong\u003e method, take root in \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous and clayey soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, which give the wine body, balance and remarkable persistence.

Malolactic fermentation takes place in wood, followed by twelve months of ageing in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, which enriches the aromatic profile. A period of bottle ageing completes the process, harmonising the structure and tannins before release.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by the historic Mottura family estate, founded in 1927 in the heart of Salento, \u003cstrong\u003eLe Pitre Primitivo di Manduria DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e represents the excellence of Apulian winemaking.
