A Mano srl

Mark is a California winemaker, Elvezia is from Friuli in the far northeast of Italy.
They met in Sicily in 1997 when they were both consulting for a large winery near Palermo. It was instantly obvious that they worked well together, so when Mark proposed to visit Puglia and its old Primitivo vineyards, Elvezia  immediately accepted. They were so strongly attracted by this region. They came for a short holiday, and never left. Puglia has become their home.The vision of new and ancient Primitivo vineyards disseminated for thousands of hectares is a lovely view for anybody,but you can imagine what it meant to a California winemaker. According to studies carried out by UC Davis, where Mark graduated in winemaking,  Primitivo and California Zinfandel share the same DNA, they are genetically identical.
We work with the best vineyards and do everything possible to maintain the purity of their flavors. 
Our pay off is Welcome to Puglia, beacause only here you can find these fantastic wines
