Vinification of the Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria DOP 6.0l Methusalem in HK by Cantine San Marzano

The Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria comes from over 60-year-old vines that root in the barren, iron-rich soils of Apulia. These old, gnarled vines are resilient and yield only about 3000 kg of grapes per hectare, ensuring a low yield but top-notch quality. The warm Scirocco brings dry air and healthy grapes. This allows for nearly organic cultivation of the vines. The harvest is done by hand at the optimal time of ripeness to best utilize the aromatic properties. The vinification begins with a maceration process, where about 80% of the must remains on the skins for 18 days and 20% for 25 days, to extract the optimal aromas and tannins. The yeasts used for fermentation come directly from the winery. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in small oak barrels made from French and American oak. In the bottles, the wine continues to mature, unfolding its full potential.
