Pantun - Pantun

A structured and elegant wine, complex in flavor and remarkable for its exceptional drinkability and appeal. It is a deep, enveloping red born of the perfect marriage between rigorous artisanal tradition and a generous, nuanced terroir. This red wine originates from vineyards cultivated using the traditional Puglian *alberello* (bush-trained) system—a veritable living sculpture rooted in unique soil that is predominantly clay and limestone, enriched by veins of silt and dark earth. Supported by the robust 140 Ruggeri rootstock, the vines harbor exceptional biodiversity, boasting 14 cataloged biotypes preserved over time through careful *massal* selection carried out directly in the vineyard. Vineyard management follows a philosophy of absolute excellence: with a planting density of 4,000 vines per hectare, yields are drastically limited to just 60 quintals, resulting in grapes with impeccable aromatic and structural concentration. Harvest takes place between August 25th and 30th; it is performed entirely by hand, with clusters gently placed in small crates to ensure their absolute integrity during transport to the winery. The winemaking process begins with fermentation in modern steel tanks, accompanied by prolonged skin maceration—lasting 12 to 18 days—to extract color, body, and silky tannins. Subsequently, the wine undergoes a slow, refined aging process for a full year in seasoned 225- and 300-liter barriques, which smooth out its structure without overpowering the primary fruit characteristics. Finally, the wine’s evolution is completed by a five-month rest in classic Bordeaux-style bottles, imparting ultimate harmony and an alcohol content of 14.5% ABV. Ideal when served at a temperature of 16–18°C, it offers an enveloping sensory experience that combines rich complexity with an incredibly smooth and satisfying mouthfeel.

Cellar: Pantun - Az. A.gr Garagnano Domenico

Pantun is a young Puglia company that is located in Mottola, in the tarantine countryside. Born by the will of two authentic vintners like Jutta and Mimmo who at the beginning of the two thousand years decided to start producing a crafty and sincere wine. Pantun is a monovarietal cellar, in fact, in the two hectares of vineyards is cultivated practically only Primitivo with some rows of Alessano bianco and Malvasia of Candia. Vineyards with an average age of 15 years are exposed to the south and grow on clay-calcareous soils Jutta and Mimmo leave nothing to chance during their work in the vineyard, treatments are only with copper and zinc, yields are low And the fertilization is carried out with organic manure and the technique of the almond, all this in order to obtain healthy and mature grapes. Pantun wines are robust, dense and full of matter, a mirror of the territory
