2022 'Edda Lei Bianco', San Marzano Wine Republic

2022 'Edda Lei Bianco', San Marzano

Puglia, Italy

White Silk

Seductive and beautifully expressive, Edda opens with sun-ripened peach, apricot and citrus, layered with white blossom, Mediterranean herbs and delicate vanilla. Chardonnay brings generosity and structure, Fiano adds freshness and savoury depth, while Moscatello Selvatico lifts the aromatics with an alluring floral character.

Rounded and creamy on the palate, yet remarkably fresh, the ripe stone fruit is balanced by bright acidity and a fine mineral thread. Four months on the lees lends texture and complexity, while the oak remains polished and discreet. Rich without becoming heavy, it finishes long, elegant and gently saline. It is one of the most compelling white wines we have tasted from Puglia.

For when: You want a white with the generosity of Chardonnay and the soul of southern Italy.

Pairs with: Grilled sea bass, seafood risotto, roast chicken, burrata, creamy pasta or mature cheeses.

Edda means “she” in the Salentino dialect and represents the more sensual, elegant side of San Marzano. The vineyards sit approximately 100 metres above sea level, where significant differences between daytime and night-time temperatures help the grapes retain freshness while developing their generous Mediterranean character.

San Marzano was founded in 1962 when 19 local vine growers joined together to showcase the quality and character of their native Puglian grapes. The cooperative has since grown to include more than 1,200 growers, with vineyards extending across some of the finest sites in and around the Primitivo di Manduria region.

The landscape is shaped by intense sunshine, cooling maritime influence and distinctive red soils rich in iron oxide. San Marzano combines this exceptional terroir with contemporary cellar techniques, producing wines that retain the warmth and generosity of southern Italy while displaying polish, freshness and precision.

Edda is the estate’s flagship white and offers a different perspective on Puglia. By bringing Chardonnay together with the native Fiano and Moscatello Selvatico grapes, San Marzano has created a layered, gastronomic white that feels both unmistakably Mediterranean and impressively refined.

The 2022 Edda combines 60% Chardonnay with 20% Fiano and 20% Moscatello Selvatico. The grapes were grown at approximately 100 metres above sea level, where substantial diurnal temperature variation encouraged slow flavour development while preserving natural acidity and aromatic freshness.

Following gentle pressing, the juice was cold settled to allow the solids to separate naturally. Fermentation took place in French oak barrels, after which the wine remained on its fine lees in barriques for four months. Weekly bâtonnage kept the lees in suspension, building texture, richness and complexity while retaining the wine’s freshness and mineral definition.

Chardonnay 60%, Fiano 20% and Moscatello Selvatico 20%. Salento IGP. Fermented in French oak barrels. Matured for four months on fine lees with weekly bâtonnage. Alcohol: 13.5%. Serve at 12 to 14°C.
