Primitivo di Manduria, Puglia
San Marzano is a small town in the centre of the Primitivo di Manduria DOP, a strip of land between the seas that wash over the Puglia region. It was here that 19 winegrowers founded Cantine San Marzano. Long before the appellation of origin was created and Primitivo di Manduria was recognised worldwide, they were chasing a dream.

"A cooperative winery founded in the 1960s, with vineyards that straddle the San Marzano and Sava areas (the latter being particularly well-suited). Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria is produced from vines that are at least six decades old. Bursting with plum scents, rounded flavours and smooth tannins."
