Plantamura cultivates approximately nine hectares and works exclusively with Primitivo, producing three wines distinguished primarily by the age and location of their vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnnual production across the entire estate is limited, with the Riserva accounting for approximately 8,000 bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA more responsible approach\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlantamura has been committed to organic farming from the beginning and is certified by AIAB, the Italian Association for Organic Agriculture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe family manages the entire production process, from the vineyard through to bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir approach includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCertified-organic farming\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo synthetic herbicides or pesticides\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is it made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are harvested manually into crates during the first ten days of September.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest timing is important with Primitivo because sugar levels can rise quickly as the fruit ripens. Picking at the right moment preserves acidity and prevents the finished wine from becoming overly alcoholic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter arriving at the cellar, the grapes are destemmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks using indigenous yeasts naturally present on the grapes and in the winery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe juice remains in contact with the skins for approximately ten days. This is enough to extract deep colour, fruit and structure without making the tannins excessively hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is matured for 12 months in stainless steel, followed by a further 12 months in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its Riserva classification, it does not rely on new oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis absence of barrel flavour allows the black cherry, blackberry, spice and herbal notes of Primitivo to remain clear and expressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Riserva mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Riserva” indicates that a wine has undergone longer maturation and meets additional requirements established by its appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt does not automatically mean that a wine has been aged in oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlantamura’s Riserva spends 12 months in stainless-steel tanks and another 12 months resting in bottle before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteel preserves the wine’s fruit and freshness, while bottle maturation allows its flavours and tannins to become more integrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result has the depth expected from a Riserva without strong vanilla, toast or woody aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does it taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour is a deep ruby red, becoming slightly garnet or brick-toned as the wine matures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose opens with ripe black cherry, blackberry, plum and dark forest berries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm spice follows, with notes reminiscent of clove, cinnamon and cracked pepper. With air, the wine reveals coffee bean, dried herbs and a subtle minty freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palate is full-bodied and velvety, with concentrated dark fruit and smooth, present tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its richness, it does not feel syrupy or excessively sweet. Natural acidity and savoury herbal notes keep the wine balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is long and warming, with lingering black cherry, spice, coffee and a gentle bitter note that makes it particularly suited to food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I decant it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Decanting for approximately 30–45 minutes will help the wine open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAir allows the dark fruit, spice, mint and coffee notes to become more expressive while softening the perception of its structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe it at approximately 16–18°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid serving it at a warm Australian room temperature. If necessary, place the bottle in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes before opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a medium-to-large red-wine glass to give the aromas enough room to develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat should I drink it with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a natural partner for bold, savoury dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts ripe fruit works with caramelised meat, while its acidity and gentle bitterness balance rich sauces and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alessa Vino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53036472631616,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/5187\/5392\/files\/plantamura-primitivo-2020-pasta_81ab1fa6-31f7-46e2-91a7-2fcb578b5f59.png?v=1787747368"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/5187\/5392\/collections\/DSC_5843.jpg?v=1737421994","url":"https:\/\/alessavino.com.au\/collections\/female-winemakers\/colour-red.oembed","provider":"Alessa Vino","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
