Tenuta San Marco Primitivo

The wine traditions of the Salento wine region

The Tenuta San Marco Primitivo represents the heart and soul of Salento, a region renowned for its deep-rooted winemaking traditions and ability to produce wines of exceptional quality. This Primitivo is the result of the dedication and expertise of Tenuta San Marco, a winery dedicated to cultivating wines that honor both the estate's rich history and fertile soils. With a deep ruby ​​color and a rich palette of aromas and flavors, this wine perfectly reflects the unique characteristics of the Primitivo grape, carefully cultivated in the clayey, gravelly soils of Salento. The grapes are carefully harvested when they are perfectly ripe. After harvesting, they are immediately taken to the winery where they undergo rigorous selection. Fermentation then takes place in horizontal rotary fermenters at a controlled temperature of 23 to 25 degrees Celsius for 10 days. This ensures the final wine is pure and mature. After the necessary rest, the wine is bottled, and we can enjoy this delicious Primitivo.
