Mottura Negroamaro del Salento Rosone 2024

Mottura Negroamaro del Salento Rosone is a characterful red from the sun-drenched heart of Salento in Apulia, showing exactly why Negroamaro is one of the region’s most expressive native grapes. Produced by the historic Mottura estate, it combines deep local identity with a polished, contemporary style.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows an intense red color with vivid garnet reflections. The bouquet brings to mind Mediterranean herbs and wild berries, lifted by a subtle spicy vanilla note from oak aging. On the palate, it is notable for its persistence and smooth texture, with a fruity, soft finish that keeps the wine approachable while still carrying plenty of regional personality. The wine has enough structure to age gracefully for a few years, though it is also very enjoyable in its youth.

Production
Made from 100% Negroamaro, this wine is crafted to express the terroir of Salento, where warm Mediterranean conditions shape ripe, concentrated fruit. The grapes undergo pre-fermentation cold maceration with bleeding, followed by traditional maceration with periodic pump-overs and delestage. Alcoholic fermentation takes place with native yeasts at controlled temperature, and the wine is then matured for 8–10 months in first-use French oak barrels.

Food & Serving
A natural match for grilled meats, roasted lamb, rich pasta dishes, and mature hard cheeses, especially those with savory, earthy flavors. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting for about 30 minutes can help bring out the wine’s aromatic depth and soften its structure.

Producer
Founded in 1927 by Pasquale Mottura, Mottura has become one of the most important wineries in Salento and a benchmark for the area’s winemaking tradition. With a strong focus on local grape varieties and regional identity, the estate has earned a reputation for producing wines that authentically reflect the spirit of Apulia.
