Description
The Gran Trio Rosso or the Tre Pumi (same wines under 2 names) is a blend of Primitivo, Malvasia Nera and Negroamaro that grow in the warm Salento and come from the oldest vineyards of San Marzano. The best grapes go to the Gran Trio Rosso and the largest part of the harvest goes to its brothers. The Gran Trio Rosso is a very soft wine in which the 3 grape varieties complement each other perfectly. The warmth of the Primitivo with beautiful acids of the Malavasia Nera and the backbone of the Negroamaro and that combined with the healthy vineyards where the old stems benefit from the fresh wind from the sea that keeps the somewhat 'elderly' vines in perfect condition. In contrast to its brothers, the TR3 Pumi Rosso gets at least 6 months of wood aging, part of which in 2nd and 3rd year barrels and part in new oak and that gives more power and finesse to this red Gran Trio
In the glass, the Gran Trio Rosso has a beautiful dark ruby red color. In the nose we smell black fruit such as blackberry, cherry and blueberry but after some swirling and oxygen also tones of chocolate, plums, raisins and some sweet herbs. In the mouth, the Gran Trio Rosso is very soft and almost creamy with again the black fruit but we also taste some vanilla, cocoa and toffee in the throat. The yield of the old vines is very minimal so this wine is always only available in very limited quantities and certainly because the price is so attractive, the Gran Trio or Tre TR3 Pumi (white and red) is one of the top wines of San Marzano of which they could sell many times more if they had them (which is not the case).

In 1962, 19 winegrowers from San Marzano joined forces to create "Cantine San Marzano". Today, this cooperative has more than 1200 growers and uses modern and technologically advanced installations without compromising the very old wine tradition of Puglia. San Marzano is located in Puglia, in the heart of the acclaimed DOC "Primitivo di Manduria", between two seas (Ionian and Adriatic).
The provinces of Taranto and Brindisi offer a landscape where vineyards and olive trees grow side by side on a red substrate. This soil and the Mediterranean terroir play an essential role in the production of high-quality wines. The climate is extreme, with difficult conditions: drought, frost, Sirocco wind. Yet these passionate winemakers ensure that even grapes from the oldest vineyards produce full-bodied and elegant wines. Respect for the traditions of Puglia and passion for wine are paramount, but go hand in hand with technological developments and clever marketing. The modern wines of San Marzano are now extremely popular in Italian wine bars. The San Marzano label is their premium line, which even appears on the table in Michelin restaurants.
Using modern vinification techniques, San Marzano produces elegant and clean wines that pay tribute to the ancient Apulian winemaking traditions. This fusion of time-honored tradition, passion and contemporary craftsmanship allows the production of wines with distinctive varietal characteristics that reflect the essence of the local terroir. The team of winemakers is built to create the idiosyncratic and innovative style that makes San Marzano recognizable from the first sip. Caterina Bellanova and Davide Ragusa were born and raised in Puglia: Caterina represents the exquisite touch essential to make iconic wines, Davide is a young and talented winemaker, he studied oenology in Florence and developed his practical skills during several harvests, including in Abroad.
The strength of San Marzano lies in its versatility. However, she does have some hobbyhorses. She is a real star in the Primitivo from Di Manduria. San Marzano is also the right address for the wine drinker who is looking for depth and complexity. How about the San Marzano Collezione Cinquanta. This is a complex red wine that unites all the beauty of Salento, part of Puglia. But the real winner is the Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria, a real top wine that the whole world has fallen in love with. It was not for nothing that this powerhouse received no less than 98 points from Luca Maroni, who is considered the Italian counterpart of Robert Parker.
