Masseria Cuturi - Tuma 2020
Masseria Cuturi is a classic estate in Manduria, Puglia, a region that Pliny the Elder recognied as "the town full of vines" during Roman times. Purchased in 1881 by the Countess Sabini and acquired by the Rossi Chauvenet family in 2008, Cuturi includes 40 hectares of organic vineyards, 80 hectares of olives groves, and over 100 hectares of wild herbs. The Cuturi wines are born of an extraordinary soil, cretaceous limestone under layers of iron-rich quaternary deposits combined with the warmth of the Mediterranean sun.
The Tuma Primitivo is dedicated to Don Tommaso Schiavoni, a nobleman who first planted Primitivo di Manduria in the Conca D’Oro of Masseria Cuturi. Made from 100% Primitivo, all grapes were hand harvested and fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. Deep ruby color with light scarlet rim. Aromas of wild cherry, plums and strawberries intermingle with savory herbs and a note of cocoa. The palate is soft, rich and full-bodied with added notes of licorice to complement the dense fruit and savory flavors. Enjoy with grilled vegetables, roast eggplant or pasta with meat sauce.
