San Marzano is a well-known winemaker from Puglia, located in the heel of Italy’s boot. Cantine San Marzano started in 1962, when 19 vine growers from the village of San Marzano, whose families had farmed the land for decades, banded together to pursue their dream. It has expanded significantly over the years and now attracts over 1,200 high-quality vine growers.
The vines are grown with the utmost regard for the vineyard’s natural rhythm. The native grapes are grown in the lovely Puglian countryside, where gentle sea breezes, azure blue skies, and sun-kissed vines produce ripe, juicy fruit that bursts with flavor.
San Marzano produces elegant and clean wines that pay homage to ancient Puglian wine practices using modern vinification techniques. Wines with distinct varietal characteristics that embody the nature of the local terroir are produced as a result of this fusion of time-honored custom, passion, and contemporary craftsmanship.
The Primitivo and San Marzano has helped to raise the prestige and profile of the Primitivo grape by making world-class wines and iconic labels. Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria DOP, for example, is the product of the President’s imagination, Mr. Francesco Cavallo, who was determined to make a new wine that could convey the purity of the Primitivo grape in a new way.
