What's in the package?
1. San Marzano Il Pumo Chardonnay
Origin : San Marzano, Salento, Puglia, Italy
Vinification : Only stainless steel (SS)
Tasting notes : Very drinkable with sufficient freshness and nice fresh fruit. Aromas of jasmine, wild roses, pineapple and banana. The taste is elegant, refreshing and delicate.
Climate and Influence :
Climate: Mediterranean, with warm summers and mild winters.
Influence: The warm climate ensures ripe grapes with many fruit aromas and lower acidity. The daily temperature fluctuations promote the development of aromatic complexity.
Vinification method :
Stainless steel (SS): The wine ferments and matures in stainless steel tanks, without wood influence, which preserves the freshness and fruity aromas of the grape. Wines are generally lighter, fresher and have higher acidity.
2. De Wetshof Estate Chardonnay Sur Lie
Origin : Robertson, South Africa
Vinification : Sur lie (on our own must)
Tasting notes : Bright straw yellow with an open scent of citrus notes, apple and minerality. Full of finesse, fresh acidity and a nice length. The sur lie aging gives the wine extra complexity.
Climate and Influence :
Climate: Semi-arid, with warm days and cool nights.
Influence: The cool nights help to preserve the acids in the grapes, resulting in wines with a good balance between freshness and fruitiness.
Vinification method :
Sur Lie: After fermentation, the wine remains in contact with the dead yeast cells (lie) for a longer period of time, which adds complexity and a creamy texture to the wine. Additional flavors such as breadcrumbs and nuts come to the fore, while the wine still retains a certain freshness and minerality.
3. Domaine Astruc Chardonnay Réserve Sud de France
Origin : Limoux, Languedoc, France
Vinification : Wood-aged (95% Chardonnay, 5% Mauzac)
Tasting notes : Light fresh golden yellow color with intense notes of flowers, brioche, vanilla, pineapple, lime and quince. Full-bodied, rich, with remarkable length. Partial malolactic fermentation preserves the fresh acidity.
Climate and Influence :
Climate: Temperate, with influences from the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
Influence: The moderate temperatures and diverse soil types give the wine a good balance between acidity and ripeness, with complex aromas and flavors.
Vinification method :
Wood-aged: The wine matures in oak barrels, which influences the character of the wine. Wood-aged wines gain additional aromas such as vanilla, toast and butter. They are often fuller and more complex, with a softer acidity due to malolactic fermentation.

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.
