Cignomoro, Valle D'Itria Ottocento Minutolo 2024 White

Cignomoro Ottocento Minutolo 2024 is a bright, aromatic white wine from Valle d’Itria in Puglia, made from the region’s distinctive Minutolo grape. Its expressive fruit, floral character and refreshing mineral finish reflect the influence of Puglia’s sun, sea and coastal winds, while the name “Ottocento” evokes the area’s long-standing viticultural heritage.

Tasting Notes
The wine has a clear straw-yellow appearance. Its intense, perfumed nose opens with generous aromas of yellow peach and ripe apricot, complemented by elegant floral notes of orange blossom. The palate closely echoes the aromas, combining ripe stone-fruit flavours with a lively mineral freshness. A well-balanced structure and persistent finish make it both expressive and refreshing. Best enjoyed in its youth, when its vibrant fruit and floral character are at their most pronounced, though it should develop gracefully over the next couple of years when properly stored.

Production
The Minutolo grapes are grown in Valle d’Itria, where the warm Puglian sun, maritime influence and steady winds shape the character of the fruit. Cignomoro’s vineyards are rooted in the characteristic red soils of the area between Manduria and Carosino. After harvesting, the grapes undergo gentle cold pressing, followed by a slow fermentation in stainless-steel tanks at 16–18°C. The wine is then matured in stainless steel to preserve its freshness, aromatic intensity and mineral profile.

Food & Serving
A natural match for fish and seafood, this Minutolo is particularly well suited to sushi, sashimi, grilled fish, shellfish and delicate dishes with fresh herbs or citrus. Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. Decanting is not necessary, although opening the bottle shortly before serving allows its floral and stone-fruit aromas to unfold.

Producer
Cignomoro is a Puglian producer built around deliberate choices: choosing Puglia, selecting its vineyards and allowing the region’s natural rhythms to shape the wines. Working with modern vinification techniques while maintaining the values of a family winery, Cignomoro seeks to express the distinctive character of the red soils, sun, wind and sea found in the area between Manduria and Carosino. The estate’s wines are regarded among the leading contemporary expressions of Puglia, with a clear focus on regional identity and precision.
