Vinification of the Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria DOP 3.0l Doppelmagnum in HK by Cantine San Marzano

The grapes for this noble red wine come from vines over 60 years old, rooted in poor, iron oxide-rich soils. These special conditions are the reason for the name "Sessantanni", which means "from sixty-year-olds". The vines produce a very low yield of only about 3000 kg per hectare, guaranteeing high quality and concentration of flavors.

The handpicking ensures that only the best grapes are selected for vinification. The must from the grapes is initially macerated for about 18 days at controlled temperatures on the skins. The remaining 20% are left on the skins for 25 days, leading to optimal extraction of aromas. Only yeasts sourced by the winemaker are used. After racking the wine, it matures for 12 months in small wooden barrels made of French and American oak, resulting in a harmonious blend of fruit and wood.
