A Mano | Apulien
The small, artisanal (A Mano = by hand) and very family-run winery A Mano is the dream child of Elvezia Sbalchiero and Mark Shannon. Originally from Friuli, Elvezia met the Californian oenologist Mark in Sicily. Through their love, a shared dream was born, which would see the light of day in Puglia: A Mano. Today, more than 25 years after the foundation of the winery, Elvezia and Mark are still reinterpreting the wines of Puglia. The light, refreshing and always dry wines from natural cultivation and artisan production set a pleasant counterpoint to the usual wines from Puglia.
Remarkable is the style of the wines, which is unusual for Apulian conditions: These are clearly dry made (i.e., fully fermented) and also lean (in stark contrast to many rather opulent wines from Puglia). Even the Appassito is drier and leaner than the Appassimento of other Apulian wineries. In addition, the wines of A Mano are all grown and vinified naturally by hand, but the small winery is not officially certified because of the effort involved. - Gerardo [TS02/23]

A Mano · Primitivo IGT 2021A Mano, Puglia
The basic Primitivo from A Mano also bears Mark Shannon's unmistakable signature: The wine is dry and relatively light for a Primitivo, accompanied by wonderful freshness. The aroma is reminiscent of ripe red fruits such as raspberries and a pleasant spicy note. On the palate, this single-varietal Primitivo is youthful and full-bodied, underpinned by rounded fruit. - Gerardo [TS02/22]
