91 points from the 2019 Ultimate Wine Challenge

San Marzano Wine 62 Anniversario 2015 Primitivo Di Manduria

February 22, 2020

Happy National Drink Wine Day! Guess what I am doing?!? Tonight it’s going to be San Marzano Wines 62 Anniversario Riserva 2015 Primitivo Di Manduria from Puglia, Italy.

This prominent producer highlights the region’s traditional varieties like this Primitivo I am drinking. * This wine also scored 91 points from the 2019 Ultimate Wine Challenge held by Ultimate Beverage Challenge🍷 Judges describe it as “vanilla-kissed potpourri” with “bold black fruits” and “dried figs” on this full-bodied wine with a consistent finish. Very yummy!

I hope everyone had a delicious wine-sipping day!

I scored this 2000 @cerettowinery "Bricco Rocche" Barolo at one of the weekly web auctions held by Acker Wines. I always have fun bidding because I know I won’t find these labels (especially considering the vintage) at my local wine stores. I also love winning :-)
