San Marzano Anniversario 62 is an intense ruby red colour; wide and complex to the nose, fruity with prune and cherry jam aroma, notes of tobacco and slightly spicy.

A full-bodied wine, soft and rich in fine tannins, with notes of cocoa, coffee and vanilla in the finish.

Made exclusively from the grape Primitivo, Anniversario comes from a small vineyard parcel in the heart of the superior Manduria DOC in Italy. The wine is aged for 18 months and the balance achieved between the lightness of the massively fruity Primitivo grape, and the barrel aging is simply exquisite.

Brief Description

About

Deriving its name "Anniversario 62" from the year 1962, in which 19 vine growers from San Marzano whose families had farmed the land for generations combined their efforts to establish "Cantine San Marzanno".

And no better grape could be used to celebrate this event than Primitivo, which is native to this area in Italy. Using hand picked grapes, only the best fruit, from the best plots, in San Marzanno and Save are used. These ancient vineyards sit in the premium locations in the central area of D.O.P. "Primitivo di Manduria".

The vineyards are planted at a density of 5,000 bush vines per hectare. The soil is mainly red with a fine texture and is generally calcareous with few emerging rocks. The renowned red hue of the soils is due to the presence of iron oxides. The climate is characterised by high temperatures all year round, very little rainfall and a wide diurnal temperature range, which has a positive influence on the quality of the grapes, concentrating the flavours in the berries. The harvest takes place during the second half of September.

The grapes were hand-harvested once they had reached an advanced state of ripening. Temperature-controlled fermentation took place at 24 to 26°C and lasted for approximately 15 days. 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 resulting in this exceptional riserva.

Ideal with...

Savoury first courses, red meats and game.
