A Mano `Imprint` Primitivo Appassito from Puglia, Italy, is a still red, off-dry wine crafted from Primitivo grapes. The Primitivo grapes undergo a five-week drying process, typical of the Appassito style, concentrating their flavours. This results in a rich and powerful expression, with intense aromas of ripe dark fruit, crushed raspberries, plums, and Mediterranean spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied, offering a great concentration of ripe, rounded fruit. It pairs wonderfully with rich pasta dishes or mature cheeses. This wine is also suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
75.0CL , 14.0% ABV
Vinification
The Primitivo grapes were dried for five weeks. On arrival at the cellars, the grapes were pressed, destemmed and cooled to 18°C and the must was allowed to ferment at its own pace. After racking in mid-November, the wine remained in an underground cement tank where the temperature did not exceed 10°C until being bottled under Stelvin.
Flavour profile
This Appassito-style Primitivo offers intense aromas of ripe dark fruit, crushed raspberries, and plums, complemented by Mediterranean spices. It is a full-bodied wine, delivering a rich concentration of ripe, rounded fruit on the palate.
Serving recommendation
Serve at 16-18°C. Decanting for 30-60 minutes will enhance its rich character.
