San Marzano Wine

San Marzano wine refers to wines made from grapes grown in the San Marzano region of Italy, specifically in the Salento peninsula of Apulia (Puglia) in southern Italy. The San Marzano area is renowned for its ideal climate and soil conditions, which are particularly well-suited for grape cultivation, especially the Primitivo and Negroamaro grape varieties. When purchasing San Marzano wines, look for labels indicating the DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) or DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) designation, which certify the wine's origin and adherence to strict quality standards. The wines, especially those made from Primitivo grapes, often exhibit characteristics such as deep red color, rich berry flavours, hints of spice, and a velvety texture. These wines are not to be confused with the San Marzano tomatoes, although they do pair excellently with meals made with them...
