Bursting with ripe plum, blackberry and raspberry, it is layered with sweet Mediterranean spice and a touch of sun-baked earth. The palate is plush and full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a lovely sense of balance that keeps all that rich fruit feeling polished rather than overpowering. Bold, smooth and deeply satisfying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"569\" data-end=\"810\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"569\" data-end=\"582\"\u003eFor when:\u003c\/strong\u003e You want a red that feels like a big, warm hug.\u003cbr data-start=\"630\" data-end=\"633\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"633\" data-end=\"648\"\u003ePairs with:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slow-cooked ragù, grilled sausages or aubergine parmigiana.\u003cbr data-start=\"708\" data-end=\"711\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"711\" data-end=\"733\"\u003eIf this wine were:\u003c\/strong\u003e A long candlelit supper by the sea with everyone staying later than planned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"812\" data-end=\"1473\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eFounded by Mark Shannon and Elvezia Sbalchiero, A Mano is a love letter to Puglia, and to Primitivo in particular. With Mark’s winemaking background and Elvezia’s deep wine expertise, the pair saw the potential of this southern Italian region and helped bring the grape to wider attention through a quality-first, modern approach. The fruit for this wine comes from Mark’s favourite coastal vineyard near the Ionian Sea, where ancient alberello bush vines, many between 70 and 100 years old, grow in dark reddish-brown soils that hold and radiate the Mediterranean heat. The result is a Primitivo with real character, generosity and unmistakable southern charm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic - Wine Merchant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55488711033217,"sku":null,"price":14.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2023PrimitivodiPuglia_AMano.png?v=1775233214","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2023-primitivo-di-puglia-a-mano","provider":"Wine Republic - Wine Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
