A Mano
Puglia Primitivo
Puglia, Italy
Dark but clear red purple. Fruity nose and palate of black cranberry and dried fig. Firm tannins and bright acidity (medium plus, both) fight for dominance taking attention away from what should be voluptuous fruit preventing ‘‘tis from even approaching the “sipper” label. Food tames them both however, and it plays the accompaniment role well. So now we know its place.

Tart and quick finish. Not very full. The kinda wine you serve to drunk people.

It was okay because I like primitivo wines but it does not compare to the class or depth of other (more expensive) primitivo wines. It's definitely ok for its price but don't go for it thinking it will actually be a full, tasteful wine. Its taste is gone in a second and is not full enough (a bit lean).

This starts so promisingly, but then devolves into nothing. A little spice, a little peachy, a little tannin. Definitely not bad, more more of a table wine.
