A Mano Primitivo di Puglia
Description: 100% Primitivo showing incredible depth of colour this vintage, with perfumes of spicy, ripe, black cherries and a hint of liquorice on the nose. On the palate it is full-bodied while retaining a good balance between opulent fruit and elegant structure. A Mano Primitivo was first made in 1998. Mark Shannon and Elvezia Sbalchiero, the duo behind A Mano, have worked in the wine business for most of their lives. Elvezia is a northern Italian winemarketing expert and Mark is a Californian winemaker. They knew right from the start that they wanted their wine to be a concentrated, dark coloured, full-bodied wine made from Primitivo. A Mano comes from the heart of the Primitivo area, in the low hills east of Taranto in Puglia. The region is an old sea-bed, full of fossilised clams, oysters and sea-urchins. The altitude here is approximately 30-60 metres above sea level and annual rainfall is 35 cms. Puglia is a pensinsula between the Adriatic and Ionian seas so the climate is classically Mediterranean. The Primitivo vines are quite old; most are the original plantings after phylloxera and range from 70-100 years old. As with most vineyards planted at that time they are small bush vines, called "alberello" and are non-irrigated. The average Primitivo vineyard is quite small, less than half a hectare. The grapes are hand-picked. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £88.97

Casa Catelli Primitivo del Salento IGT Puglia
Description: Winemaker's note: it has a deep ruby colour with flecks of strawberry-fuchsia when it's young. On the palate it has scents of wild blackberry and raspberry together with hints of violets, chocolate, tobacco and spices. Primitivo has a great structure and softness. Aging: about a third of the wine is aged in two year old, small French barrique for four months, the remaining in stainless steel tanks. Then for three months in the bottle. The wine is then slightly filtered and separated from the residual yeasts and sediments, before bottling. About Primitivo: Primitivo and Zinfandel have the same DNA, therefore the European Community allows the producers to label the wine with either name on the labels. It's unknown how the varietal arrived to Apulia, some think it came from Croatia, others think from Portugal or France. The best conditions to grow Primitivo are in the Salento peninsula . The wind that blows in the Peninsula keeps the vines healthy and prevents the formation of mould. The high alcohol content, the intense fruity flavours make this varietal very appealing. Before becoming a well known varietal on its own, it was blended with other wines to give them weight and structure. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £50.76
