Vinification of the Cantine San Marzano I Tratturi Primitivo The Cantine San Marzano belongs to a cooperative of around 1,500 winegrowers who have made a huge contribution to the economic upturn of the Apulia wine region. Various grape varieties have been cultivated for more than 3,000 years. The team at Cantine San Marzano, led by Mauro di Maggio, benefits from the diversity of local varieties and excels with both single-varietal and cuvetted products. Unique soil conditions reduce the harvest in a natural way and intensify the quality of the wines. The warm Scirocco and the high level of sunlight make it difficult for fungi and insects and thus enable low-pesticide cultivation. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks under strict temperature controls and rolling fermentation tanks allow this wine to mature. Dining recommendations for the I Tratturi San Marzano Primitivo We recommend drinking this wonderful red wine from the south of Italy at a temperature of 15-17°C with roast meat, braised vegetables or pasta with spicy sauces.
