San Marzano Edda Bianco Salento IPG is a white wine produced by Cantine San Marzano, a winery located in the Apulia (Puglia) region of southern Italy. This winery is well-known for its production of high-quality wines that reflect the unique characteristics of the local terroir.
Edda (‘she’ in Salento dialect) is the feminine and sensual soul of San Marzano. It is a complex white wine, full of Mediterranean notes. Noticeable acidity intertwined with an enveloping and elegant warmth, savoury and mineral notes on the palate. The Chardonnay grapes give the wine finesse and longevity, together with different varieties indigenous to Puglia, that year after year compete to complement the blend. San Marzano are previously winemakers of the year in Italy, and this Chardonnay offers a taste of some of their incredible skills. The wine is big bold and oaky, giving you wonderful juicy fruit, but also a silky vanilla and cream oakiness on the finish. The perfect wine for Chardonnay lovers.
San Marzano Edda is typically a blend of local and international grape varieties with Chardonnay leading the way. The exact composition can vary, but it often includes: Moscatello, Selvatico and Fiano. These grapes contribute to the wine’s complexity and aromatic profile.
The wine usually has a straw yellow colour with greenish reflections. San Marzano Edda offers an aromatic bouquet with notes of white flowers, peach, citrus fruits, and a hint of vanilla. It is well-balanced wine with a good acidity, minerality, and a rich, creamy texture. Flavours of tropical fruits, honey, and a subtle hint of oak are often present. The wine typically has a long, elegant finish.
The wine is often aged partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in French oak barrels. The oak ageing contributes to the wine’s complexity and gives it a slight hint of vanilla and spice.
