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.
Deeply coloured and exuberant on the nose, with intense perfumes of red and black fruit such as plum and raspberry, and Mediterranean spices. On the palate it is youthful and full-bodied, with a great balance between ripe, rounded fruit characters and smooth tannins
