The name Di Marco in the wine world most prominently points to Cantine Di Marco, a historic Italian winery rooted in the sun-drenched Puglia region of Southern Italy (specifically in the picturesque Valle d’Itria near Martina Franca).
The family-run estate has been producing wine for generations, tracing its winemaking roots back to a facility originally built in 1872. Today, they combine traditional Italian methods with modern production technology.
Core Offerings & Notable Varieties
Cantine Di Marco is highly regarded for utilizing native Southern Italian grape varieties to create bold, rich, and characterful structural profiles.
-
Primitivo: One of their most widely distributed exports. It features a bold profile packed with ripe cherries, dark plums, blackberry flavors, and savory baking spices. It is robust, rich, and typically hits around 12.5% ABV.
-
Salice Salentino Riserva (D.O.P.): A traditional blend made primarily from Negroamaro (90%) and Malvasia Nera (10%) grapes. It yields a deep ruby red color with garnet reflections, an intense and delicate bouquet, and a well-balanced, dry finish.
-
Aglianico & Taurasi: The brand also selections grapes from neighboring Campania vineyards, specializing in full-bodied Aglianico reds.
