A Mano Primitivo 2007
Castellaneta, Taranto, Puglia, ItalyAmerican winemaker Mark Shannon and his Italian wife Elvezia continue their search for the best inexpensive wine in the world. The '07 Puglia Primitivo is my go-to spaghetti red with its floral, lifted raspberry nose flecked with bits of spice. Look for plenty of raspberry flavours streaked with a savoury/anise undercurrent and a dusting of tannins. Grilled meats or spaghetti Bolognese would work here.Tasted: 12 May 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:AB | $18.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
