“Puteus” is a Salice Salentino DOP reserve, made of 80% of Negroamaro and 20% Malvasia Nera, as the disciplinary code requires. In the last stage of fermentation the wine is stored in stainless steel tanks for the first year, then aged in oak barrels. It has a deep red color with hints of violet.
Deep red color with hints of violet, balanced tannin, strong spicy bouquet, with notes of cocoa and coffee, fruity (cherry).
The best wine pairing is with meat dishes, roast meat with a juicy frosting, seasoned cheese and salami, and it sparks with spicy dishes!
Winery: Mocaveros
In the sunny Salento area, since 1950, the Mocaveros produce high quality wines that spread out qualities such as tradition, taste, research, passion whom Francesco and Marco are devoted, as homage to the heritage of their father Pietro.
By convention, the birth of the Mocavero winery is traced back to 1950, when an uncle of Pietro's, Tommaso, bequeathed the winery to him. In reality, the roots go back much farther in time, to the early 20th century, with the work and passion of Francesco and Marco's great-grandparents. In the 1950s, the first winery was built in the historic center of Monteroni di Lecce, a few kilometers from Lecce. The wine was produced and sold in bulk and was very popular in the local market of Lecce and the surrounding area .
In the 1990s, Francesco and Marco picked up the family tradition and gave birth to the fourth generation of winemakers, leading the winery to success, like true “warriors,” as their surname would mean in Arabic, with enthusiasm and resourcefulness. Personally following the selection of grapes, vinification, aging and bottling, Francesco and Marco have contributed to the growth of the winery, to establish themselves internationally as producers of great native wines-Primitivo and Negroamaro in primis-and to break away from the past of producers of “blending” wines for the great wines of northern Italy. Not only passion, but also initiative and enthusiasm, as the name Mocavero itself indicates in ancient Arabic: 'Warriors'. Yes, Warriors of Taste, Artisans of Wine.
Nowadays, Mocavero production includes 12 red wines, 3 white ones, 2 rosé ones, 1 dessert natural sweet wine, whom we can gather in 5 lines.
Today the winery is located in the countryside of Arnesano, surrounded by olive trees and vineyards, where Francesco and Marco, following both tradition and innovation, with scrupulousness and with taste continue to produce high quality wines which are now a guarantee both in Italy and abroad: in them it is possible to find, besides the goodness of precious grapes, the taste of ancient flavors handed down, the passion of humble and authentic people.
Tradition, passion, quality, dedication and spirit of self-sacrifice have allowed the Mocavero winery to receive numerous awards, the first, in 1994 itself, at the first Vinitaly experience in Verona, where the Salice salentino doc “Puteus” 1989 was a remarkable success.
Today 90% of production is destined for the foreign market: Germany, Holland, Luxembourg, England, Australia and the United States make up the “hard core” of the company's exports. The remaining 10% is taken up by the Italian market, which has been growing sharply, especially in the last year.
Not only “Mocavero” wines. In fact, thanks to a focus on the market and customer needs, the Mocavero winery can call itself “versatile,” managing to produce “private label” wines on behalf of its customers.
With a glance at the past and with the future in mind, like true “warriors,” Francesco and Marco are ready to face new challenges and lead the Company to new goals.

It is rare to have a shipment damaged during shipping, however, in the event you do receive a damaged delivery, please let us know. We will need pictures and proof of damage so that we can resolve your claim. Damaged claims will not be accepted without proof. We will replace the wine or issue a credit. The choice is yours!
Deliveries that contain alcohol REQUIRE AN ADULT SIGNATURE. You must be 21 or older to purchase and accept said deliveries.
We cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally.
Shipping fees are not refundable under any circumstances.
There is an additional charge to re-route orders already in transit.
Some items are removed from original packaging, and placed in protective shipping containers to ensure safe delivery.
While most orders are shipped the day they are placed. The demand for limited supplies will occasionally deplete our stock of a paticular product, in this case it will generally take an additional 1 - 2 business days to receive the product and fufill the order.
Although it is rare, if there was a packing error, we would like to resolve it for you! In the event that we shipped an incorrect item, we may ask you to hold on to those items and the exsisting packaging so that we can arrange for a return pick up. If you find that items are missing from your order, we are happy to assist you in reshipping the missing items or processing a credit for the missing item/items. We will provide a return label for incorrect items and credit will be processd upon the return of the item to the warehouse. Reshipment of the correct items will be at no extra charge.
Occasionally a chosen vintage of a wine may sell out or be replaced by a new release after your order is placed. Bottles of wine that are under $20, will not hold up an order and we will simply automatically substitute the wine with the comparable vintage. Please be assured that we will only substitute with a vintage for the same wine. Wine that is valued more than $20 per bottle, we will attempt to contact the customer. After two attempts, the available vintage will be automatically shipped out. (The return policy of $15 return shipping costs, and 15% restocking fee will be enforced.)
Yiannis Wine will not be held liable for damages to orders due to weather conditions during shipping. Potential exposure to extreme heat or cold may damage items during shipping. As we can not be held responsible for products damaged due to weather, we suggest you choose FedEx Express to ship your items and/or add ice packs to your order (during extreme heat) to help prevent damages. We can also place your orders on weather hold until weather conditions improve. Wine is usually fine if it is exposed to some heat (as that is the way wine is made.....Heated so the yeast is activated). If your wine is warm, please place them in a cool, dark room so the wine can "settle."
Most returns will be accepted, but ALL bottles must be returned to get credit. A half bottle or empty bottle of something that did not taste GOOD is fine to return, but the customer will not receive full credit if the bottle is not included.
