Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria DOP

Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria DOP 150 cl

Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria DOP stands for the powerful, concentrated style of Apulia – now presented in an impressive Magnum format. The wine is based on the Primitivo grape variety from vines at least 60 years old, which give it its distinctive density and expressive character. In the 150-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 subtle spicy dimension. Ideal for festive occasions, collectors or as an expressive wine for contemplation with a long, persistent finish.

Producer: Cantine San Marzano 

In 1962, the strength and craftsmanship of 19 winegrowing families came together to found Cantine San Marzano. These wines originate from a unique region – 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. Through the passion of the winegrowers of Cantine San Marzano, the grapes are transformed into full-bodied and elegant wines. These wines are the best example that high quality and an attractive price do not contradict each other.
