Tasting note
Screwcap closure. Fermented very cold using its own wild yeast. Plenty of ripe raspberry aromas with touches of toasty oak. Palate is full bodied with ripe, blackberry, blueberry & raspberry fruit flavours & a hint of sweet, toasted oak (80% French and 20% American barrels). The finish is soft and long with elegant, rounded tannins. Made from bush vines 70 - 100 years old.

Producer note: A Mano
A Mano, meaning ‘hand made’, is based in Puglia. The vineyards are old and head trained. The A Mano team have made the Primitivo grape variety one of the most talked about wines. The quality of their wines are shown by the fact that their second vintage of Primitivo won a gold medal. These really are unique handcrafted wines. Puglia, or Apulia as it is called in English, is Italy's boot heel - its southeastern most region. It is a long, narrow peninsula, mostly occupied by plains and hills, apart from some lower mountains of the Southern Apennine chain and the Gargano promontory, with high, steep cliffs. The arrival of sector professionals from other regions and nations has led to a surge in financial investment and knowledge and skill. The region also has extremely favourable soil and climate conditions, while at the same time offering very high quality potential. Certainly the quality of Puglia’s traditional red varieties are no longer in dispute.
