Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria DOP

Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria DOP 300 cl

Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria DOP stands for the powerful, concentrated style of Apulia – now presented in an impressive double magnum format. The foundation is the Primitivo grape variety from vines that are at least 60 years old, giving the wine its remarkable density and expressive character. In the 300-cl bottle, the wine develops more slowly and evenly, further enhancing structure, harmony and ageing potential. Ageing in barriques highlights the ripe fruit and adds a fine, spicy dimension. Ideal for great moments of enjoyment, festive occasions, collectors or as a distinctive wine with a long, lingering finish.

Producer: Cantine San Marzano 

In 1962, the strength and craftsmanship of 19 winegrowing families came together to found Cantine San Marzano. Wines from a unique region – we are in Apulia, a strip of land between two seas, the Ionian and the Adriatic, with vineyards and landscapes in the provinces of Taranto and Brindisi, where vines and olive trees grow side by side on the characteristic red soils. The Mediterranean terroir plays a fundamental role in the production of these high-quality, modern wines. The climate is extreme and conditions are challenging. With the passion of the growers at Cantine San Marzano, the grapes are vinified into full-bodied and elegant wines. These wines are the best proof that high quality and an attractive price are not mutually exclusive.
