Le Pitre Primitivo di Manduria DOC from the Mottura winery is a wine produced from grapes produced in Manduria, on red clay soils in the north-western part of Salento. It is a wine of great complexity and with a solid and full-bodied structure. The training system is the traditional Apulian sapling, with a yield of 70 qt. per hectare.

The harvest is manual with a selection of the best bunches that have reached the right ripeness, when the sugar and polyphenolic component is at its maximum. In the cellar the grapes undergo a soft pressing and the must ferments at a controlled temperature. Finally, the wine ages in steel silos for a few months and ends the production cycle in the bottle.

The nose is intense, sweet and with hints of red fruit jam, blackberry and sour cherry which give it a strong identity. Spicy tones of black pepper and cocoa. In the mouth the tannins are soft and go in the direction of sweetness and harmony. The varietal notes dominate and overall prepare for a long finish of great persistence

Pairings: It goes perfectly with red meats, roasts and aged cheeses.
