Its aroma is dominated by peach fruit—floral, crystalline, and alluringly spicy. It opens on a high note and continues to soar, gaining breath, clarity, and luminosity. This is a continuum driven by exceptional, supreme fruit richness and vivid alcoholic power, yet self-sustained by a virtuous, rare, and absolute purity of transformation. The native grapes are perfectly ripe—alluring, yet still retaining a lively, fresh, and aromatic vegetal character. Minty oak spices glaze the aromatic profile. It is neither darkened nor dulled by winemaking flaws or excessive sun exposure; on the contrary, its scent and taste—featuring the fruity, exotic varietal character of this expressive grape—render it truly vibrant and remarkably fresh, free from any signs of oxidation. This elevates its virtuous, pristine aroma to even greater heights. An absolute standout of perfect density and suppleness, the product of exemplary viticulture and winemaking. Firmly established among Italy's very best white wines—chapeau.

Lovely tropical and yellow fruit on the nose, such as pineapple, lychees and melon, as well as seashells and flowers. It’s fresh and gently saline with a medium to full body.

The 2023 Cantine San Marzano Edda, a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Muscat, presents a rich yellow hue and opens with aromas of dried earth, crushed stones, and a distinct mineral edge. On the palate, it is smooth and silky, offering tart citrus flavors that lead into a clean, dry finish. A graceful companion to Spigola al Sale, the Salento specialty of salt-baked sea bass, where delicate flavors and texture mirror the wine’s elegance and lift.

Winemaker Notes

Straw yellow with goldish reflections; mellow floral notes, peach and delicate vanilla hints pervade the nose. Generous in its elegance, fresh, delicate and mineral.

Pair with starters, first courses with fish, and cheese.

Blend: 60% Chardonnay, 20% Fiano, 20% Wild Muscatel
