“The Old Soul”

Deep garnet with purple edges, this Riserva is rich, powerful, and endlessly layered. Crafted from 60-year-old bush vines, it opens with aromas of black cherry, plum jam, and dried figs, lifted by cocoa, vanilla, and sweet spice. The palate is full-bodied and velvety – concentrated dark fruit wrapped in smooth tannins, with hints of liquorice, tobacco, and balsamic complexity. Generous but harmonious, it finishes long, warming, and luxurious.

For when: the evening calls for generosity and grandeur.
Pairs with: slow-cooked lamb, game stews, or dark chocolate desserts.
If this wine were a character, it’d be a seasoned storyteller – bold, captivating, unforgettable.

Sessantanni (“sixty years”) is San Marzano’s flagship, drawn from gnarled old bush vines planted in iron-rich red soils near the Ionian Sea. These ancient vines yield tiny quantities of intensely flavoured fruit, which the estate shapes with time in French and American oak. The result is a wine that defines Primitivo di Manduria, profound, age-worthy, and iconic.
