Primitivo 'Tumà' Puglia IGT
Puglia, Italy
‘Tumà’ takes its name from Don Tommaso Schiavoni, who brought the first Primitivo vines to Masseria Cuturi in 1881, laying the foundations for one of Puglia’s most historic wine estates. Produced from organically grown fruit cultivated just a few kilometres from the Ionian Sea, the wine captures both the richness and freshness that define the estate’s unique maritime terroir. Aromas of black cherry, wild berries and sweet spice are complemented by delicate notes of liquorice and Mediterranean herbs. The palate is supple and harmonious, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, savoury finish. An ideal companion to grilled meats, slow-cooked ragù or mature cheeses. An elegant and authentic expression of Puglia’s most celebrated native grape.

The Producer
Nicely placed in the Conca d'Oro the 40 Ha estate of Masseria Cuturi dates back to the 1880s and lies in the fertile palm of the Chidro river. Camilla heads up both estates, in Puglia and in Valpolicella ... somehow managing to keep a careful eye and produce amazing wines from both. We particularly like the Cuturi wines offering immense freshness from this hot hot part of Italy as well as finesse and grandeur from the esteemed Mandurian DOC. The Masseria is beautiful and well worth a visit.
Whites we have the Fiano, bursting with fresh grapefruit and lime, something to keep the heat off your neck. The 'Tuma' primitivo is lovely and fruit forward with no stewed or overripe nuances, this is bold primitivo as its best. The Negromaro adds more tannins to the mix with a lovely herbal character. The Chidro Primitivo has more time in wood and is the jewel in the crown for a more classic serving of Puglia.
