San Marzano Description
This delicious Primitivo is very intense and elegant ruby red color; broad and complex fruity fragrance with hints of plum, cherry jam and tobacco, slightly spicy. A full-bodied wine, smooth and rich in tannins, with a finish that offers notes of cocoa, coffee and vanilla. Best served with: Richly flavored first courses, red meat and game.
Very ripe grapes are harvested manually. The maceration takes place for 18 days on 80% of the grapes and for 25 days on 20%, with native yeasts selected in the vineyard. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 24-26 °C. Ageing in French and American oak barriques for 18 months.
San Marzano is a small village in the centre of the Primitivo di Manduria DOC region, a strip of land kissed by the two seas of the Salento: the Ionian and the Adriatic. In 1962 the DOC appellation did not yet exist, and the Primitivo di Manduria was far from becoming a cult wine for wine lovers. Even so, 19 winemakers came together to follow a dream and founded Cantine San Marzano.
