Primitivo di Manduria DOC 2021 / Mottura / Apulia

Red wine from Italy

Since 1927, the Mottura company has been investing in the winemaking tradition of Salento, in the quality of its products and in modern and sustainable development.

The Primitivo di Manduria is a red wine from the southern Italian region of Apulia. It is grown in the province of Taranto on the south coast of the Salento peninsula, the heel of the Italian boot. It is named after the small town of Manduria, which is located southeast of the ancient city of Taranto. The Mottura line, from which this wine comes, is characterized by modern wines with a long history. Autochthonous wines that, with their aromas and scents, reflect the spirit and authenticity of the land of its origin.

With its intense red, the Primitivo di Manduria DOC by Mottura is a wonderfully simple Primitivo with a strong personality. Its bouquet consists of intense aromas of ripe red fruits, aromatic herbs, and undergrowth in autumn. At an optimal drinking temperature of around 18° C, this Primitivo develops a dry, luscious taste that is harmonious and has a nice long finish. The subtle acidity is well integrated. The tannins are very pleasant and hide in the background.

Overall, it's a Primitivo that knows how to impress. It goes very well with roasted lamb and kid, red meat, roasts, hearty stews, and game. Nice companion to aged cheese. So, the dishes shouldn't be too light, otherwise they would be a little drowned in the face of this red wine.

Grape variety

PRIMITIVO

It has long been looking for the origin of the mainly in the USA famous grape ZINFANDEL. Finally, the mystery was solved in 1999. After DNA analyzes turned out that the PRIMITIVO grape variety is identical with the Zinfandel. Wines from the grape PRIMITIVO can safely be called high-quality wines. They have a high sugar content, which consequently leads to a relatively high alcohol content. Nevertheless, they maintain a harmonious taste.
