Description
In 1962, 19 winemakers, determined to demonstrate the high potential of wines from Salento, founded "Cantine San Marzano". A long time has passed since then, but their old original vines still produce rare and precious grapes and from here comes this Anniversario 62 Primitivo di Manduria DOP Riserva.
They searched long and hard among the oldest Negroamaro vineyards of Salento for the perfect grapes to express the true soul of this noble vine. In the end, only three vineyards were selected and "F" is the name they chose. The "F" as in Feudi di San Marzano as is the full name of this winery.
The San Marzano F is a 100% Negroamaro coming from vineyards located in Contrada Monte La Conca, between San Marzano (TA) and Francavilla Fontana (BR). The soil here also consists of the unique finely textured red soil with a calcareous subsoil, scarce rock formations and an intense presence of iron oxides. After manual harvest, skin maceration for 18 days for 80% of the whole and 25 days for the remaining 20%, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation. This Negroamaro matures for 12 months in French and Caucasian oak barrels.
In the glass, the San Marzano F Salento is very deep purple-red in color with a rich and complex bouquet in the nose with hints of herbs, soft fruit and cherry jam. This is a full-bodied wine, but also smooth and balanced, rich in fine tannins, with a pleasantly long aftertaste. Delicious with red meat, game and mature cheese, but this is certainly also a meditation or enjoyment wine.

In 1962, 19 winegrowers from San Marzano joined forces to create "Cantine San Marzano". Today, this cooperative has more than 1200 growers and uses modern and technologically advanced installations without compromising the very old wine tradition of Puglia. San Marzano is located in Puglia, in the heart of the acclaimed DOC "Primitivo di Manduria", between two seas (Ionian and Adriatic).
The provinces of Taranto and Brindisi offer a landscape where vineyards and olive trees grow side by side on a red substrate. This soil and the Mediterranean terroir play an essential role in the production of high-quality wines. The climate is extreme, with difficult conditions: drought, frost, Sirocco wind. Yet these passionate winemakers ensure that even grapes from the oldest vineyards produce full-bodied and elegant wines. Respect for the traditions of Puglia and passion for wine are paramount, but go hand in hand with technological developments and clever marketing. The modern wines of San Marzano are now extremely popular in Italian wine bars. The San Marzano label is their premium line, which even appears on the table in Michelin restaurants.
Using modern vinification techniques, San Marzano produces elegant and clean wines that pay tribute to the ancient Apulian winemaking traditions. This fusion of time-honored tradition, passion and contemporary craftsmanship allows the production of wines with distinctive varietal characteristics that reflect the essence of the local terroir. The team of winemakers is built to create the idiosyncratic and innovative style that makes San Marzano recognizable from the first sip. Caterina Bellanova and Davide Ragusa were born and raised in Puglia: Caterina represents the exquisite touch essential to make iconic wines, Davide is a young and talented winemaker, he studied oenology in Florence and developed his practical skills during several harvests, including in Abroad.
The strength of San Marzano lies in its versatility. However, she does have some hobbyhorses. She is a real star in the Primitivo from Di Manduria. San Marzano is also the right address for the wine drinker who is looking for depth and complexity. How about the San Marzano Collezione Cinquanta. This is a complex red wine that unites all the beauty of Salento, part of Puglia. But the real winner is the Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria, a real top wine that the whole world has fallen in love with. It was not for nothing that this powerhouse received no less than 98 points from Luca Maroni, who is considered the Italian counterpart of Robert Parker.
