Puglia IGT Negroamaro 2018 - A Mano

Color: Ruby red color with purple reflections.
Smell: Scent of berries, cherries, plums, spices, aromatic herbs from the Mediterranean scrub.

A Mano Negroamaro comes from a single vineyard in Salento. It is an old espalier vine without irrigation.
This grape is sensitive to burns and the espalier vine is perfect for protecting the grapes from the torrid sun of Salento and contributes to the characteristic and unusual aromas.
A Mano Negroamaro is different from any other wine you will try. On the nose you will recognize freshly picked berries, black cherries, spices and the scent of flowers.
Elegant, clean with a delicacy that wraps the palate every time you drink it.

Vinification: After the harvest usually in October, the grapes are pressed and cooled. Fermentation proceeds for about 2 weeks at 16 °C.
Maturation: It rests for 6 months in steel tanks and at least 6 months in the bottle.

A Mano

Mark is a winemaker and comes from California while Elvezia is from Friuli. They met in Sicily in 1997. In 1998 Mark proposed to visit Puglia to see the old Primitivo vineyards. According to studies by the University of Davis in California Primitivo and Californian Zinfandel are genetically identical. The expanse of old sapling vineyards is an enchanting sight for anyone, let alone an American winemaker. They immediately felt a strong attraction for this region. It was supposed to be a short vacation. They never left! Since then nothing has changed: they produce excellent wines using only native Apulian grapes. They propose a contemporary style with the utmost respect for the territory. They offer extraordinary quality at fair prices. Why A Mano? Because we feel like craftsmen. We take care of every detail from the vineyard to the bottle with the same passion that is dedicated to truly handmade products.
