Susco Susumaniello Salento PGI 2020

In 1962 in San Marzano, a village in the center of the Primitivo di Manduria PDO, a strip of land between the seas that wash over Puglia, 19 winemakers founded Cantine San Marzano. All this well before the appellation of origin was born and Primitivo di Manduria was recognized worldwide. 1982: PRIMUS INTER PARES Francesco Cavallo is appointed president of the Board of Directors. Volcanic and visionary personality, helmsman of our reality. Forty years of uninterrupted presidency, planning the future and overseeing the winery's present. 1996: THE FIRST BOTTLES The commitment and dedication of the members allow the purchase of a modern bottling plant. The first bottles leave the winery, triggering the transition from commodity to brand. From bulk economy to direct relationship with the end consumer. 2000: 60 YEARS San Marzano's iconic label, it encapsulates its philosophy and essence. Produced from grapes from old vineyards, it is an expression of a thousand-year relationship between our people and the Primitivo grape. Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria DOP is the label that changed the perception of Apulian wines in the world. 2015: SAMIA Our garden by the sea. 120 hectares dominated by a 16th-century Masseria that can be glimpsed as you walk through the endless rows of vines, expanses of shrubs and fields of fruit trees. A place of work and production, a constantly evolving laboratory of sustainability. Ideal theater of sharing and Mediterranean beauty, a distillation of the experience that San Marzano offers to the world..
