“Edda” Bianco Salento IGP 2022- San Marzano

The grapes to produce “Edda” Bianco Salento San Marzano were gently destemmed and then cool macerated for several hours to allow the flavour to develop. This was followed by a gentle pressing and a cold settling to encourage a natural sedimentation. Fermentation took place in French oak barrels. “Edda” Bianco Salento San Marzano was matured on its fine lees in barriques for a period of four months, with weekly lees stirring which imparted texture and complexity to the wine.

The vineyard is located at approximately 100 metres above sea level and benefits from great diurnal temperature variations. The warmer temperatures during the day and cooler nights encourage the grapes to have a long maturation period, with the heat of the day promoting sugar accumulation, while the cooler nights preserve the acidity levels. The vines are planted to a density of 4,500 vines per hectare and are trained according to the Guyot method. The soils are quite thin, soft and shallow, but have a good texture.
