Description

Allow me to introduce you to the magnificent Sessantanni, a red wine that embodies the soul of Puglia. Crafted by the renowned Cantine San Marzano, this wine is a true masterpiece originating from the Salice Salentino DOC. This wine is primarily made from the Negroamaro grape, a variety that thrives in the sun-drenched vineyards of southern Italy. Its intense ruby-red color is a prelude to the rich sensory experience that awaits.

The nose is greeted with a complex bouquet of ripe red and black fruits, such as cherries, plums, and blackberries, intertwined with hints of sweet spices like cinnamon and cloves, and a subtle earthy undertone. On the palate, Sessantanni is dry, full-bodied and velvety, with well-integrated tannins and a balanced acidity that leads to a long, satisfying finish. It's the kind of wine that invites contemplation and savoring. The 94 expert rating by multiple sources is a testament to its quality and craftsmanship. With an alcohol content of 14.5%, it's a robust wine that commands attention, and a serving temperature of 18°C is recommended to bring out its best qualities. The wine comes in a cork-sealed bottle, a testament to its traditional winemaking heritage.

Sessantanni is more than just a wine; it's a reflection of the passion and dedication of the winemakers at San Marzano. The winery has a storied history, blending traditional techniques with modern innovation, resulting in wines that are both classic and contemporary. San Marzano is known for its commitment to quality, and the Sessantanni is a prime example of their dedication to crafting wines of exceptional character. This wine pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, especially grilled meats such as lamb or steak, roasted vegetables, and mature cheeses. It’s also a fantastic choice to enjoy alongside rich pasta dishes with meaty ragu sauces. Its complex flavors can complement spicy dishes as well, particularly those that feature herbs and earthy undertones. Its structure and complexity also make it a delightful companion to slow-cooked dishes, such as Osso Buco or braised short ribs. It is recommended to open and allow the wine to rest for about 15 minutes before serving to fully allow all aromas to develop.

Sessantanni is more than just a bottle of wine; it's an invitation to experience the authentic flavors of Salice Salentino. The perfect wine for a special occasion or a well-deserved evening of relaxation. With its elegance and complexity, it's a conversation starter that promises to leave a lasting impression.
