Introducing to you the A Mano Rosato 2007, made from Malvasia Nera, which is a dry and refreshing Rose from Puglia in the boot of Italy. The wine is made from Malvasia Nera, usually the basis grape for Marsala.
The A Mano range of wines is made by Mark Shannon and Elvezia Sbalchiero. Elvezia is a Northern Italian winemarketing expert and Mark is a Californian winemaker, who were both attracted to prove that you can make fantastic “stand alone” wines in Puglia.Until recently this region was only known for producing wines for blending. This is a trend which really start to produce excellent wines and together with Sicily and Basilicata all regions in the Southern part of Italy is something to watch.
A Mano means “by hand” and that is the care this duo puts into wine making. Initially Mark travelled from California as a Zinfandel expert (known as Primitivo in Italy) and it is therefore also not surprising that the Primitivo from A Mano is outstanding, both the entry level and the Prima Mano.
The Rosato 2007 because of its grape has a gently fruity nose, lovely bright, very pale pink in colour with a sun-kissed fruity palate. Comes with a bit of 'grip', a bit of action and, some flavour. Cherry led fruit with a little bitter twist on the finish. Nice presentation too for a £7.49 bottle.
