ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
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, technologically advanced vinification techniques, they produce elegant wines that pay homage to ancient Apulian wine traditions. The fusion of time-honoured tradition, passion, and contemporary techniques enables this winery to produce wines with distinctive varietal and regional characteristics that reflect the local terroir. In 2022, San Marzano was awarded the ‘Cooperative Winery of the Year Award’ by Gambero Rosso.
ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
The vineyard is located at approximately 100 metres above sea level and benefits from great diurnal temperature variations. The warmer temperatures during the day and cooler nights encourage the grapes to have a long maturation period, with the heat of the day promoting sugar accumulation, while the cooler nights preserve the acidity levels. The vines are planted at a density of 4,500 vines per hectare and are trained according to the Guyot method. The soils are quite thin, soft and shallow, but have a good texture.
THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
The grapes were gently destemmed and then cool-macerated for several hours to allow the flavour to develop. This was followed by a gentle pressing and a cold settling to encourage a natural sedimentation. Fermentation took place in French oak barrels. The wine was matured on its fine lees in barriques for a period of four months, with weekly lees stirring, which imparted texture and complexity to the wine.
OUR TASTING NOTE:
A distinctive blend delivering aromas of sun-ripened peach and mellow floral aromatics, which are interwoven with delicate hints of vanilla. Fresh and beautifully balanced, the rounded palate is elegantly styled and has a touch of minerality on the finish.
GRAPE VARIETY:
Chardonnay 60%, Fiano 20%, Moscatello Selvatico 20%.
