Nel 1962 a San Marzano, paesino nel centro della DOP Primitivo di Manduria, una striscia di terra tra i mari che bagnano la Puglia, 19 vignaioli fondano le Cantine San Marzano. Tutto questo ben prima che nascesse la denominazione d’origine e il Primitivo di Manduria fosse riconosciuto nel mondo.

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 present of the winery.

1996: THE FIRST BOTTLES
The commitment and dedication of the partners allow the purchase of a modern bottling plant. The first bottles come out from the cellar, starting the passage from commodity to brand. From the economy of bulk to the direct relationship with the final consumer.

2000: SIXTY YEARS
San Marzano's iconic label, it encapsulates its philosophy and essence. Produced from grapes grown in old vineyards, it is an expression of the age-old relationship between our people and the Primitivo grape. Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria DOP is the label that has 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 seen walking through the endless rows of vines, the expanses of shrubs and fields of fruit trees. A place of work and production, a laboratory of sustainability in continuous evolution. An ideal theater of sharing and Mediterranean beauty, a distillation of the experience that San Marzano offers the world.
