Notes: One of our bestselling (& favourite) wines! Aromas of plum, cherry & spice, with hints of vanilla. A full-bodied wine, yet soft & balanced, full of ripe fruit flavours in an easy drinking style.
 
The vineyard is approximately 100 metres above sea level, with high average temperatures & medium-low rainfall. The soft soil layer is clayey & quite thin, with a good presence of rocks. The grapes are harvested during the first week of September when they have reached optimal ripeness. Temperature controlled maceration for approximately 10 days to extract the desired level of colour, flavour & fine tannins with fermentation taking place in stainless steel tanks. The wine was made in an unoaked style to preserve the vibrancy of fruit & varietal characteristics.
 
Producer Info: 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 vine growers. Using modern & technologically advanced vinification techniques they produce elegant wines that pay homage to the ancient Apulian wine traditions. The fusion of time honoured tradition, passion & contemporary techniques, enables this winery to produce wines with distinctive varietal & regional characteristics while reflecting the local terroir. In the Sommelier Wine Awards, San Marzano was awarded
European Producer of the Year 2017.
