Mottura, Stilio Primitivo di Manduria 2022

Mottura’s Stilio Primitivo di Manduria 2022 is a richly styled red from one of Puglia’s most respected family estates. Sourced from low-yield vineyards in Manduria, it combines concentrated fruit with the depth and warmth that have made Primitivo one of southern Italy’s most distinctive wines. The label’s ‘taranta’ motif also nods to Salento’s cultural heritage, giving the wine a strong sense of place and tradition.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep, intense ruby color with purple reflections. The nose is generous and expressive, offering ripe dark fruit, plum, and blackberry, layered with Mediterranean warmth, spice, and a subtle hint of sweetness from the partial on-vine drying of the grapes. On the palate, Stilio is full-bodied and velvety, with concentrated fruit, soft tannins, and a rounded, mouth-filling texture. The slight drying of part of the crop adds extra depth and aromatic lift, while the wine’s structure suggests good short- to medium-term aging potential, where it will continue to gain complexity and harmony.

Production
Stilio is made from carefully selected grapes grown in low-yield vineyards in the Manduria area of Puglia, where hot, sun-drenched conditions help Primitivo reach full ripeness. A portion of the grapes is left to partially dry on the vine before harvest, resulting in around 20-30% water loss and greater flavor concentration. After fermentation, the wine matures slowly in oak barriques and tonneaux at the historic Mottura estate in Tuglie, allowing its aromas and texture to develop gradually.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for grilled meats, roasted lamb, braised beef, game, and rich Mediterranean dishes such as aubergine parmigiana or pasta with hearty tomato sauces. Serve at 16-18°C, and consider decanting for 30-60 minutes if enjoyed young, to let the wine open up fully and soften its edges.
