The "Talò" Primitivo di Manduria is a wine that well represents the style of one of the most important producers from Puglia. Cantine San Marzano can rely on a selection of grapes from a wide range of vineyards cultivated in the heart of Salento, on lands rich in clay. The warm and dry climate, always well-ventilated due to the nearby presence of the sea, ensures excellent ripening of the grapes with very dense aromatic profiles and a high sugar content. Primitivo is the wine that best represents the happy union between grape and territory. The choice of a very measured wood aging always keeps the seductive aromas of the grapes in the foreground.
