San Marzano Anniversario 62 Primitivo

Primitvo
Italy Puglia

In 1962, 19 vine growers from San Marzano whose families had farmed the land for generations, combined their efforts to establish ‘Cantine San Marzano’. Through the decades this cooperative has grown significantly, attracting over 1,200 top-quality vine growers. Using modern and technologically advanced vinification techniques they produce elegant wines that pay homage to the ancient Apulian wine traditions.

Only the best fruit, from the best plots was selected to produce this wine. The grapes were hand-harvested once they had reached an advanced state of ripening. The wine went through malolactic conversion in stainless steel vats before being racked into French and American oak barrels, where it matured for 18 months.

This is an extraordinarily intense, elegant and long lived Primitivo.Deep and complex flavours of prunes, black cherry jam, spice and tobacco deliciously weave through the full bodied palate with its velvety texture and long, complex finish of cocoa, coffee and vanilla bean.
