A Mano, `Prima Mano` Primitivo 2021

A deep purple wine with a rich, full bouquet showing black cherries, violet and mocha notes. Full of juicy blackberry, cherry and plum fruit, with dark mineral and peppery spice on the palate. Impressively concentrated and lush without being heavy or sweet. This wine has a freshness and an acidity that is instantly inviting, leading to a persistent aftertaste with balance and structure.

Country: Italy Region: Bari, Puglia ABV: 15% Bottle Size: 75cl Grapes: Primitivo

Additional Information: Produced only in the best vintages, A Mano is made from grapes grown on two ancient vineyards planted in the red sand on the coast of the Ionian Sea, practicing organic.

The Salento peninsula is part of Puglia (the "heel of the boot"). Prima Mano comes from the oldest vineyards, over 70 years old, that grow in Lizzano, overlooking the Ionian sea. The vines grow on a crumbly, dark reddish brown soil that resembles instant coffee and that retains heat and radiates it back onto the vine. These two vineyards always produce A Mano's most intense Primitivo. The yields are very low and the red sand reflects sunlight onto the fruit for early ripening. They are the first vineyards to be harvested in September.
