The Cantine San Marzano is a well-established and highly-regarded wine producer located in the Puglia region of southern Italy. This renowned winery is situated in the heart of the Salento peninsula, a region known for its rich history and diverse terroir.
Founded in 1962, Cantine San Marzano was created as a cooperative of 19 local vine growers with a shared passion for producing high-quality wines. Over the years, the winery has grown and evolved, becoming one of the most prominent and successful wine producers in the region.
The Puglia region is characterized by a Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and mild winters. The rich, fertile soil and abundance of sunshine make it an ideal location for growing grapes. The Cantine San Marzano takes full advantage of these favorable conditions, cultivating a wide variety of both indigenous and international grape varieties.
The winery is particularly renowned for its Primitivo di Manduria, a red wine made from the Primitivo grape, which is native to Puglia. This bold and full-bodied wine has gained international recognition and has become one of the signature wines of the region. The Cantine San Marzano also produces other popular red wines such as Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera, as well as whites such as Fiano, Verdeca, and Chardonnay.
The winery’s commitment to quality and innovation has earned them numerous accolades and awards, including the prestigious “Winery of the Year” title at the 2015 Berlin Wine Trophy. Their wines have also been recognized by top wine critics such as Wine Spectator and Robert Parker.
In addition to their exceptional wines, the Cantine San Marzano also offers a range of spirits, including grappa and limoncello. These spirits are made with the same dedication and attention to detail as their wines, using locally sourced ingredients and traditional production methods.
