Masseria Cuturi - Tuma Pimitivo, IGT, Puglia, Italy (2021)

TASTING NOTES

A big, ripe-fruited bouquet of blackberry and sweet spices. The palate reveals notes of black fruit, Mediterranean herbs, menthol and sweet liquorice, finishing fresh and juicy. 

Masseria Cuturi 1881 is an old Puglian estate (from 1881) that now lies in the hands of the Veneto producer, Camilla Rossi Chauvenet, whose family also owns Massimago. The family acquired Cuturi 1881 a number of years back and have invested heavily in the property focusing on quality. Camilla became even more attached to the project when unintentionally locked down there for many months while "visiting" the estate as the Covid-19 pandemic began.
