How does this wine taste?
How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
The drying, grippy feel on your gums and tongue, as with strong tea. It comes from the skins and seeds of black grapes and from oak, and softens with age.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Log inIn 1962, 19 winemakers determined to showcase the high potential of Salento wines founded "Cantine San Marzano." The Talò series from San Marzano is a collection of exceptionally fine wines made with authentic Puglia grapes, aged in oak barrels. Elegant, complex, and, as with all San Marzano wines, excellent value for money.
"In San Marzano, vine growers take care of their small vineyards as if they were gardens. Their stories are numerous, as are the names of their families. We have chosen one name, Talò, to thank each and every family and pay homage to each story"
The harvest for Talò Primitivo di Manduria is carried out entirely by hand during the second week of September. The grapes are macerated on the skins for 18 days for 80% of the grapes and 25 days for the remaining 20%, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation. This Primitivo is aged for 6 months in French and American oak barrels.
In the glass, the Talò Primitivo di Manduria boasts a ruby-red color enriched with violet hues; a lush bouquet reminiscent of ripe cherries and plums, with pleasant notes of cocoa and vanilla; a wine with remarkable structure, softened by the soothing warmth of the Primitivo grape; the finish offers notes of lingering sweetness. This wine pairs well with hearty appetizers, lamb, game, and red meats with rich sauces, and hard cheeses. 94/100 Luca Maroni.

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.
Deze Talò Primitivo di Manduria presenteert zich met weelderige tonen van rijpe kers en pruim, aangevuld met cacao en vanille door zes maanden eikenlagering, een warme, volle structuur en een aanhoudende zoete afdronk die de 14% alcohol goed draagt. Dankzij de stevige body, rijpe fruitigheid en zachte tannines snijdt deze wijn door rijke sauzen en vettere vleessoorten heen, waardoor hij uitstekend samengaat met langzaam gestoofd rundvlees of lam, gegrild rood vlees en kruidige wildgerechten; extra mooi werken bereidingen zoals een langgaar stoofvlees in rode wijn, een kruidige lamsbout uit de oven of gemarineerde en gegrilde côte de boeuf, en bij kazen komen harde, gerijpte varianten het beste tot hun recht wanneer de wijn licht gekoeld wordt geserveerd rond 16–18 °C.
