Our bestselling Italian red wine,is packed with deep, dark fruit, has a silky smoothness customers can’t get enough of – and it has an amazing track record of delighting show judges too – the past seven vintages winning at least a Gold, the last five ALL winning Double Gold! The wine comes from the Salento region in Puglia, the sun-drenched heel of Italy’s boot, where the prized local variety Primitivo thrives. It’s from Cantine Due Palme, a winery founded by local hero Angelo Maci. He started over 30 years ago by championing small, independent growers. Back then, he worked with just 15 – today, there are over 1,000. But it wasn’t just the growers Angelo helped save. He also preserved the ancient traditions and almost extinct grape varieties that make southern Italian wines so characterful and flavourful. Now in his 80s, he’s handed winemaking over to his grandson, Francesco Fortunato. And this latest vintage is tasting as good as ever. Francesco uses fruit from old vines, which produce fewer grapes but have far more concentration and intensity Think spiced plum, raspberry and a plush, velvety richness. The result is a gloriously smooth red that’s perfect with spicy tomato pasta, hearty stews or a cosy night in.

San Marzano is a small village in the centre of the Primitivo di Manduria DOC region, a strip of land kissed by the two seas of the Salento: the Ionian and the Adriatic. In 1962 the DOC appellation did not yet exist. Even so, 19 winemakers came together to follow a dream and founded Cantine San Marzano. However, it wasn't until 1996 and the introduction of a new bottling plant that San Marzano wines could move from commodity to brand. With the growth of the brand and company, San Marzano set themselves a goal: 'To make a wine just like the one our fathers did and make it original and contemporary.' This was to be the Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria DOP, one of the iconic labels of the company, and one which embodies the essence of the San Marzano philosophy. Today the collective continues to flourish with the aquisition of new vineyards and opportunities to explore.
