Mottura Primitivo di Manduria Stilio 2024

Mottura Stilio Primitivo di Manduria 2024 is a full-bodied red wine made exclusively from Primitivo in Puglia’s renowned Manduria DOC. Combining the grape’s natural richness with restrained oak maturation, it offers an elegant, polished expression of southern Italy’s warm Mediterranean terroir. Primitivo has deep roots in Apulia, where it has long been valued for producing powerful, generously fruited wines.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays an intense ruby-red colour with attractive violet highlights. Its bouquet is elegant and composed, revealing red-fruit preserve, ripe cherries and dried plums, complemented by subtle tertiary notes of vanilla and clove from its time in oak and bottle. On the palate, it is rich, velvety and harmonious, with a rounded texture, concentrated fruit and well-integrated warmth from its 14.5% alcohol. The balanced structure and gentle oak character make it approachable now, while careful cellaring over the next few years should allow further development of its spice and dried-fruit nuances.

Production
Produced from 100% Primitivo grown in the Manduria DOC area of Puglia, the wine reflects the region’s warm, sun-drenched conditions and Mediterranean influence. The grapes undergo traditional maceration for 10–12 days, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation to preserve fruit character and structure. Maturation takes place partly in French barriques for six months, followed by a further two to three months of bottle ageing before release.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for grilled or roasted red meat, rich stews and slow-cooked roasts, this Primitivo also pairs beautifully with aged hard cheeses. Serve slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C, to keep its alcohol and richness in balance. Decanting is not essential, but 20–30 minutes in a decanter can help open the wine’s fruit, spice and oak aromas.

Producer
Mottura is an established Apulian producer with a strong focus on expressing the character of Puglia’s native grapes and distinctive wine regions. Its Primitivo di Manduria wines showcase the area’s tradition of producing rich, powerful reds while maintaining an emphasis on balance and elegance. Stilio reflects this approach through its combination of ripe fruit, measured oak ageing and a polished, harmonious style.
