Masseria Cuturi

I am incredibly impressed with the wines of Masseria Cuturi this year. Though many wineries in Puglia push for until-ripeness and power, Masseria Cuturi aims for transparency of terroir. Their location along the Chidro River, in a protected natural park just three kilometers from the sea, creates a push-pull of cooling and warming influences that helps retain acidity while imparting complexity to the wines. Picking at physiological ripeness and a using light touch in the cellar also help. The average Primitivo from Puglia ranges from 15-16.5% alcohol, with anywhere from five to ten grams of residual sugar, but at Masseria Cuturi, alcohols go as low as 13.5% with around two grams of residual sugar. What's more, Cuturi achieves this while obtaining wines of significant depth and complexity. These are wines that I'd welcome at my own dinner table. I recommend them highly to readers looking to understand the true potential of Puglia.
