2021 Le Pitre Primitivo, Mottura DOC Primitivo di Manduria

Primitivo

Le Pitre Primitivo is one of Mottura's flagship wines and is very complex, velvety and full-bodied, with an intense nose of sweet jammy red fruits, blackberry and chocolate along with black pepper spice. Well-balanced and powerful, with soft tannins that tends to sweetness. A beautiful Primitivo which is definitely up there as one of the best.

2022 Pianerosse Susumaniello, Paolo Leo, IGP Puglia

Susumaniello

Susumaniello is a rare Italian grape variety almost exclusively grown in the Salice Salentino region, with small pockets of vines in Brindisi. This new release from our friends at Paolo Leo is tremendous value and a really interesting wine.  It is packed with red fruits, plums and spice on the nose and palate with hints of pepper and dark chocolate on the finish. The tannins are quite firm, but very fine and there is a pleasant amaro bitterness and underlying savouriness.  Distincitve, (in a good way), and hugely enjoyable for the money.

2023 Nero di Troia ‘Beatrice’, Cantine Pirovano, IGT Puglia

Nero di Troia

The Cantine Pirovano Nero di Troia is a cracking value red wine from Puglia. The wine shows a lovely deep red in the glass and has masses of ripe dark berry and dark cherry fruit on the nose and silky, balanced palate. This impressive red wine is the perfect mid-week pick to accompany a bowl of pasta or bangers and mash, yet smart enough to take to friends for supper without breaking the bank. 

£12.95

2024 Fiano Mezzogiorno, IGT Puglia

Fiano

£11.50

2024 Trastullo Primitivo, IGT Puglia

Primitivo

The Trastullo Primitivo is a wonderful example of this luscious grape variety.  Packed with blackberry and cherry fruit that is given a little extra depth courtesy of the use of a small amount of dried grapes from a secondary harvest.  The result is a beautifully balanced wine which is full and rich yet approachable and hugely enjoyable.
