Production Notes
Production Notes
A temperature-controlled maceration was followed by stainless steel fermentation with selected yeasts, lasting around 10 days. The wine underwent malolactic conversion and was matured in 225-litre French and American oak barrels for six months. ‘Susco’ translates as ‘introverted’ in the local dialect and to depict this, the label has an opaque film that obscures the name, as if it was in hiding.
Producer Information
Producer Information
In 1962, 19 vine growers from San Marzano whose families had farmed the land for generations, combined their efforts to establish 'Cantine San Marzano'. Through the decades this cooperative has grown significantly, attracting over 1,200 top-quality vine growers. Using modern and technologically advanced vinification techniques they produce elegant wines that pay homage to the ancient Apulian wine traditions. The fusion of time honoured tradition, passion and contemporary techniques, enables this winery to produce wines with distinctive varietal and regional characteristics while reflecting the local terroir. In 2021, San Marzano was awarded the ‘Cooperative Winery of the Year Award’ by Gambero Rosso.
