A Mano Negroamaro is a distinguished red wine from Puglia, Italy, produced in the renowned Salento appellation. The region’s warm climate and fertile soil provide ideal conditions for growing rich, flavorful grapes. After hand-harvesting, the grapes are pressed and destemmed, and the must ferments slowly. The wine then matures in an underground cement tank until bottling. The result is a wine that embodies elegance and complexity, with notes of dark berries and spices, complemented by a velvety texture. A Mano Negroamaro captures the essence of Puglia’s terroir and offers a true taste of the region’s winemaking heritage.
