INFO: In 1962, 19 vine growers from San Marzano whose families had farmed the land for generations, combined their efforts to establish 'Cantine San Marzano'. In 2022, San Marzano was awarded the ‘Cooperative Winery of the Year Award’ by Gambero Rosso.
The grapes come from the central area of D.O.P. "Primitivo di Manduria", where they are grown in very old vineyards in San Marzano and Sava.
Only the best fruit, from the best plots was selected to produce this wine. The grapes were hand-harvested once they had reached an advanced state of ripening.
The wine went through malolactic conversion in stainless steel vats before being racked into French and American oak barrels, where it matured for 18 months.
Deep and complex flavours of prunes, black cherry jam, spice and tobacco deliciously weave through the full bodied palate with its velvety texture and long, complex finish of cocoa, coffee and vanilla bean.
