San Marzano

'Once known as Feudi di San Marzano, this winery has changed its name to Cantine San Marzano to avoid conflict with another wine brand. The label simply reads "San Marzano" and that's how I have recorded these wines here. San Marzano is a savvy and dynamic co-operative with some 1,200 members who provide fruit. The company is heavily marketed and branded and its efforts are paying off. Its wines are immensely poplar among younger generations in Puglia and I was impressed by how often I saw these wines at local wine bars and restaurants. San Marzano is changing the Puglia winescape and is a force to be reckoned with.' Robert Parker
