Cantine San Marzano
Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria DOP is the label that has changed the perception of Puglian wines throughout the world.

Started by nineteen winegrowers in 1962, it bottled its first wines in 1996 and put Puglia on the international map with Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria DOP, sourced from old bush-vines over sixty years old.
