Le Pitre

2011 Salento Negroamaro

The Mottura Le Pitre, a captivating red wine from the 2011 vintage, showcases the rich and bold characteristics of the Negroamaro varietal native to the beautiful Salento region. This full-bodied wine delights the palate with its pronounced acidity, offering a refreshing and vibrant experience. The fruit intensity is abundantly prominent, featuring luscious notes of ripe blackberries and dark cherries that intertwine harmoniously with hints of spice and earthiness. Tannins are notably structured, contributing to a well-rounded mouthfeel that supports the wine's complexity. Its delightful dryness makes it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes, inviting you to savor every sip.

Region:


Puglia
Puglia

The heel of Italy's "boot," sunny Puglia (the "g" is silent), is famed for its olive oils, almonds and of course, its rich, full-bodied wines. Although dry and intensely hot in the summer, Puglia has coastlines on three sides, providing cool Mediterranean breezes to alleviate the daytime heat. Primitivo (known in the US as Zinfandel) does well here, with other popular red varieties including Sangiovese and Negroamaro. But it is not all about reds in Puglia: the local Fiano grape produces gloriously nutty, tropical-flavored white, while Falanghina makes intensely fruity wines with citrus blossom notes.
