Mark Shannon is the Californian winemaker who fell in love with Puglia after a short consultancy in the region. He and his partner, Elvezia Sbalchiero, decided to create their own label “to make one wine under the A·Mano label, the single best wine from the region. As a result, we settled on Primitivo from 70 to 100 year old vines”. By paying high prices for the best grapes from these 70 to 100 year old vines and focussing solely on quality and a modern style, they have revolutionised the style and quality of Primitivo and succeeded in making it one of Italy's most talked about grape varieties.

This wine is deep red in colour. On the nose, there are intense aromas of ripe dark fruit, especially blackberries and cherries, with spicy notes of cocoa, lavender and liquorice. On the palate, it is youthful and full-bodied, with a great concentration of ripe, rounded fruit. It is a very elegant, fresh and complex Primitivo.
