A Mano Primitivo 2001
Castellaneta, Taranto, Puglia, ItalyUnlike old-style primitivo, the A Mano has none of the volatile cooked flavours of the south. Look for ripe cherry jam fruit with spicy clove undertones - some might describe the nose as pinot noir-like. Consumers will be attracted to its round, supple entry bright fruit and firm full-flavoured, toasted finish. Dry fruity, refreshing and affordable. Definitely in the running for the barbecue red wine of the year.Tasted: 26 January 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $15.95 | 750ml | |
