Mottura Primativo del Salento 2022
The Wine
On the 2021 Vintage
91 Pts Ken Garett, Wine Pilot 'From the Puglia region in Italy, this is a full flavoured style offering decent value. Dark maroon in colour, the nose is attractively perfumed. Black cherries, cloves, plenty of spicy notes, aniseed, chocolate and soy. Layered with silky tannins and good length, further soy notes, cherries, beef stock and dark berries emerge more on the palate which shows good length. Drink anytime over the rest of this decade.

About the Wine Maker 
Mottura’s vineyards are located in the Salento region in Italy’s deep south, in the sunny heel-tip of the famous boot. Family run since its founding in 1927, the winery maintains a longstanding commitment to native grapes of the region including the Primitivo and the Negroamaro. The vineyards are between 10 and 60 years old and soils are either volcanic red earths or calcareous white soils, producing intense and full-bodied wines.
