Made from Primitivo grapes vinified in steel and aged in French oak barrels, it presents a deep ruby hue with violet highlights. The bouquet is dominated by hints of dried plum, sour cherry and fig jam, intertwined with notes of tobacco and sweet spices. On the palate, it is \u003cstrong\u003erobust and velvety\u003c\/strong\u003e, characterised by a \u003cstrong\u003efull body\u003c\/strong\u003e, very fine tannins and a creamy texture with a harmonious finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMottura's vineyards are located on the Salento peninsula, between the Ionian Sea and the Adriatic Sea. The grapes ripen in the Manduria area, rooted in \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous and clayey\u003c\/strong\u003e soils. The local climate, with very dry springs and summers, ensures optimal ripening. The roots belong to \u003cstrong\u003eold vines\u003c\/strong\u003e over sixty years old, cultivated according to the traditional \u003cstrong\u003ePuglian alberello\u003c\/strong\u003e (head-trained) system. This particular environmental context ensures bunches with a marked aromatic intensity, essential for giving the wine its deep full-bodied character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe entire winemaking process follows the strict standards of \u003cstrong\u003eorganic farming\u003c\/strong\u003e. Manual harvesting precedes a twelve-day maceration on the skins. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks, using pumping-over and délestage techniques to maximise extraction. Ageing for eight months takes place in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, a fundamental step that defines a \u003cstrong\u003ecomplex structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, smoothing the tannins and enriching the sip with elegant toasted sensations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1927 in Tuglie, the Mottura winery celebrates a historic grape variety, present in the region since the ancient Phoenician and Greek colonisations. The wine is produced from \u003cstrong\u003evines over 60 years old\u003c\/strong\u003e, cultivated using the traditional \u003cstrong\u003eApulian alberello\u003c\/strong\u003e (bush-vine) system in the well-suited clay soils of Salento. The name pays tribute to the grapes' natural early ripening, as they are hand-picked at the end of August. Through \u003cstrong\u003eorganic production\u003c\/strong\u003e, the family has combined ancient regional traditions with modern techniques for four generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mottura","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47238199345323,"sku":"61932","price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/villa-mottura-primitivo-di-manduria-2025_61932_1_cff4dd1e-509c-49ed-8146-0cafb51d690b.webp?v=1782314217","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/products\/villa-mottura-primitivo-di-manduria-2025","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
