A blend of 45% Primitivo, 45% Negroamaro and 10% Malvasia Nera, is supple and juicy, conveying in a glass the instant warmth of Salento. The Rosso Salento has good colour and a chunky fruit with notes of plum and raspberry. Following cool fermentation to preserve and enhance the fruit flavours, the wine is matured in French oak to give a subtle spicy oak character together with a measure of complexity and elegance on the palate. The Promessa wines are created by Mark Shannon and Elvezia Sbalchiero, the duo behind A Mano. They have both worked in the wine business for most of their lives. Elvezia is a northern Italian wine-marketing expert and Mark is a Californian winemaker. With Promessa, Mark seeks to capture the pure flavours of Puglia's grapes in the bottle.

Les Vins De Vienne Condrieu
Description: Yves Cuilleron, Pierre Gaillard and François Villard, highly experienced Rhone Vignerons to a man, have resurrected the ancient area of Seyssuel, planting their first vines in February 1996 and breathing life back into an area that was producing quality wines for the Romans. The plots were chosen on schist soil with a Southern exposure, which were re-claimed and planted with the traditional varietals, Syrah and Viogner, around the Archbishop’s castle at Vienne. These hillside plots had fallen into neglect during the mid 20th century, when the cost of maintaining low yielding vines by hand was prohibitive. This wine is sourced from 93 hectares of steeply sloping hillsides that must be maintained by hand, the terraces have a Southeasterly aspect. The soil is granitic and rich in mica and the climate is of a moderate continental nature. Vinification is in French oak casks with a controlled temperature, where alcoholic and malolactic fermentation takes place. Ageing is for 9 months in barrel on the lees with regular stirring, and there is a light filtration before bottling. This Viognier is powerfully aromatic and sensuously ripe on the nose, offering apricot, peach and floral aromas. On the palate the wine is soft and succulent with a creamy mouthfeel to its apricot, honeysuckle and grapefruit flavours. Fresh acidity and a clean, dry finish add a vivacity to balance its weight and concentration well into the lengthy finish.
