San Marzano Sessantanni Primitivo Di Manduria 2019 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 88/100

San Marzano Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria from Puglia is a rich, full-bodied red offering aromas of sun-dried fig, roasted espresso, and hints of sweet baking spice. It's dry with supple tannins and concentrated fruit. Serve it at room temperature with osso buco as the wine's opulent texture and layered depth will enhance the braised veal and rich sauce beautifully, or pair it with aged Parmigiano-Reggiano where the wine's intensity and persistent finish will complement the cheese's crystalline, nutty complexity perfectly. Winemakers Caterina Bellanova and Davide Ragusa, a talented young oenologist who studied in Florence and developed his skills during harvests abroad, craft this wine from 60-year-old bush-trained vines planted in the Valle del Sessantanni vineyard on iron-rich red soils over limestone. Founded in 1962 when 19 vine growers whose families had farmed for generations came together to follow their dream, Cantine San Marzano now represents over 1,200 top-quality growers, and this iconic wine aged 12 months in French and American oak has transformed worldwide perception of Puglian wines. Enjoy now or cellar for 2-4 years.

Primitivo Di Manduria food pairings: osso buco, aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, wild boar stew.
