San Marzano is a wine company known for its quality wines. And that is San Marzano This Tratturi Primitivo also turned out particularly well. The Primitivo grapes grow in full sun in the warm Puglia and deliver a nice, full flavor. You can taste in the Primitivo , that the grapes were picked at full ripeness, giving it its full, ripe flavor. Moreover, the picking is done manually, allowing an initial selection of the best bunches to take place in the vineyard. The juicy grapes impart an aroma of cherries, spices, rosemary, and vanilla to this wine. Truly a full-bodied, soft, and intense wine that provides a very pleasant mouthfeel.
In 1962, 19 winegrowers from San Marzano joined forces and founded “Cantine San Marzano”. Much has happened since then, as today this cooperative numbers more than 1,200 growers. They utilize modern and technologically advanced facilities while preserving the very old wine tradition of Puglia. San Marzano is located in Puglia, a peninsula between two seas (the Ionian and the Adriatic). The vineyards of San Marzano are situated at an altitude of 100 meters above sea level. The provinces of Taranto and Brindisi offer a flat landscape with an extreme climate: heat, drought, frost, and a strong Sirocco wind. Nevertheless, these passionate winemakers ensure that even grapes from the oldest vineyards yield full-bodied and elegant wines.
To produce this fantastic wine, the winemaker applies skin maceration for 10 days to extract the flavors from the skins. After alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperatures, the wine ages for several months on its own yeast (sur lie). The wine has a dark color and aromas of cherries, spices, rosemary, and vanilla. San Marzano Tratturi Primitivo is a full-bodied, soft, and intense wine that provides a very pleasant mouthfeel. An excellent match with red meat, game, and mature cheeses.
