Gambero Rosso has included and awarded one of the wines of the Salento winery in its wine guide.
In the Gambero Rosso guide Vini d’Italia 2022, Mottura obtained an excellent recognition for one of its wines: Tre Bicchieri for Le Pitre Salice Salentino Doc 2019.
Le Pitre Salice Salentino is a wine of great impact and undoubted personality, with typical characteristics that bind it deeply to the territory in which it is born. It is a wine capable of enhancing and rewarding the maturity of Negroamaro. The harvest of this wine is done manually and requires a careful selection of the bunches, in order to keep the best ones and that they are at the right point of ripeness. The fermentation of the must then takes place at a controlled temperature, with periodic delestage and pumping over. Finally, it is aged first for about 12 months in oak barriques and then for 2/3 months in the bottle.
Salice Salentino is a wine with an intense red colour with garnet hues. The nose expresses a pleasant concentration of notes ranging from ripe red fruit to spicy, with hints of vanilla and toasted notes that make up a bouquet of great persistence and elegance. On the palate it is velvety, full and harmonious.
