San Marzano

Nineteen winegrowers from San Marzano joined together in 1962 to form a cooperative in Puglia’s Primitivo country. The cooperative began bottling its wines in 1996 and introduced Sessantanni, its old-vine Primitivo, in 2000. Primitivo remains central to its work, particularly the old, low-yielding vines grown as free-standing bushes in Salento’s hot, dry, windy climate.
