San Marzano 'Anniversario 62' primitivo 2018

If big, rich, full-bodied reds are your thing, take a look at this hefty primitivo from the serious sub-region of Manduria in Puglia. From old vines planted when San Manzano was founded in 1962.

The concentration is off the scale, with intense dark cherry and super-ripe raspberry fruit, dark chocolate and tobacco creeping in on the back palate. Ready now, but will still improve in bottle for a good ten years.
