History and Production

The “Anniversario 62” is a tribute to the 19 winegrowers who founded Cantine San Marzano in 1962. This wine is produced from overripe Primitivo grapes from historic, sixty-year-old vines, cultivated using the traditional **Alberello** method. The prolonged maceration (up to 25 days) with indigenous yeasts enhances its power and complexity. The aging in wood (implied by the term “Riserva” and the aromatic notes) contributes to its great structure and the final hints of cocoa and vanilla.
