It has since grown to more than 1,000 members farming across the Primitivo di Manduria heartland. For much of the last century this corner of the country sold its wine in bulk, but San Marzano helped rewrite that story, bottling characterful wines under its own label and reviving old bush vines and near-forgotten local grapes along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe style and the signature wines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe house style is plush and warm: dark cherry, ripe plum, dried fig and a lick of sweet spice, with soft tannins shaped by the Mediterranean heat.

Their low yields give the concentration and depth that made this Primitivo di Manduria the producer's calling card.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat food suits San Marzano reds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir ripe fruit and gentle tannin love grilled and roasted meats, lamb, and pasta with a rich tomato ragù.
