Mottura 'Stilio' Primitivo di Manduria DOC 2023

This is Primitivo doing exactly what Primitivo does best. Rich, ripe and packed with flavour, it bursts with juicy blackberry, black cherry and plum fruit, wrapped up in a smooth, velvety texture. Notes of sweet spice, cocoa and a hint of vanilla add extra depth, while the soft tannins make it incredibly approachable. Full bodied without feeling heavy, it's the sort of red that keeps everyone happy. It's no surprise this is one of our most popular reds every Christmas.

When it comes to food, think bold flavours. This is a natural partner for slow cooked beef ragù, barbecue ribs, spicy sausages and wood fired pizza. It also works brilliantly with mature cheeses or simply enjoyed on its own after dinner. With its striking presentation and substantial bottle, it's also a great choice when you need a gift that looks every bit as impressive as it tastes.

The Mottura family has been making wine in Puglia for generations, championing the region's native grape varieties and producing wines that capture the warmth and character of southern Italy. Stilio is made from carefully selected Primitivo grapes grown in the sun drenched vineyards of Salento, where hot days and cooling coastal influences help create wines with both richness and balance. The result is a classic expression of one of Italy's most loved red grapes.
