Mark is a winemaker and comes from California. I, Helvetia, am Friulian. We met in Sicily in 1997. In 1998 Mark proposed that I visit Puglia to see the old Primitivo vineyards. According to studies by the University of Davis in California Primitivo and Californian Zinfandel are genetically identical.
The Negroamaro grape has always fascinated us with its elegance. The longevity of a Negroamaro wine is comparable to that of the great Piedmontese or Tuscan wines. This is our most sublime version
We've worked with Falanghina in small batches in previous years and felt it had a special character and presence: notes of orange blossom and a serious, lingering mouthfeel. A dear friend of ours offered us a beautiful old vineyard of organically grown Falanghina this year and we jumped at the chance to offer a new, beautiful white wine to the family.
A Mano Fiano – Greco is the most unusual wine you will try in Puglia, perhaps in all of Italy. The slightly dried Fiano Minutolo gives the blend the scent of white peach and the floral component. The Greco comes from an old vineyard, not irrigated, located on a hill with sandy soil, adds body and citrus notes. It is a fresh and delicious aperitif. The scent is "Nordic", the body is full, of great satisfaction with a fresh and pleasant acidity.
I get up very early and leave in the dark. I'm going to the vineyard. Sometimes I say where, sometimes it remains a secret. The mornings I go to Vigneto Prima Mano I want to be alone. There are sensual moments in life, for me one of these is being in the vineyard by the sea in the first moments of dawn and smelling the sea in the air together with the scent of fruit. Everything is silent. Only the vineyard speaks. He tells me to wait a couple more days. Not more. My wine is made when the vines speak to me and I know how to listen. There are very few wines in the world that are so complex, with this extract yet soft and elegant.
Embracing new winemaking challenges has always been in Mark's DNA. And making wine from Susumaniello grapes in rosé is certainly an intriguing challenge. It will envelop all the senses, from sight to smell, from taste to hearing… (you will hear a playful chirping after the second sip) Have fun.
Susumaniello is an ancient and rare grape of the Salento peninsula. In Salento dialect Susumaniello means "Little Black Donkey". The old farmers say that it derives from the habit of the vineyards to load themselves with grapes, others argue it is due to the stubborn character and the reluctance to be tamed. Finally a grape and a winemaker with the same personality! This is a wine as radiant as its land, a wine that speaks the language of the people here.
