Primitivo di Manduria Riserva 'Anniversario 62' San Marzano 2018

The Primitivo di Manduria Riserva "Anniversario 62" by Cantine San Marzano is a full-bodied and enveloping red wine, born from a lively Puglian winery that represents the territory. The vineyards of Cantine San Marzano are located on soils consisting of residual red earth, rich in iron oxides, with a limestone substrate and rare rocky outcrops. The high temperatures, low rainfall, and high temperature range determine the high quality of the grapes.

The grapes that give rise to the Primitivo di Manduria DOP Riserva "Anniversario 62" are manually harvested in the second half of September, when they are fully mature. The grapes are crushed and destemmed and left to macerate at a low temperature for 24-48 hours. This is followed by thermo-controlled maceration and alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts for about 10 days. The 18-month aging in oak barrels softens the wine and gives it great structure, making it long-lasting.

The Riserva "Anniversario 62" Cantine San Marzano is characterized by elegance and complexity, starting from a very intense ruby red color and an organoleptic variety that includes hints of plums, cherry jam, tobacco, and spices on a pleasantly fruity background. On the palate, it is warm, soft, rich in noble tannins, with a long finish that reveals notes of cocoa, coffee, and vanilla. "Anniversario 62" by Cantine San Marzano is a fine red wine to pair with meat and game but also surprising as a meditation wine for unforgettable sensations.
