Vintage Character Edda Bianco Salento IGP 2024 from San Marzano is a luminous white blend that captures the essence of Apulia’s sun-drenched Salento peninsula. The 2024 vintage in southern Italy was marked by abundant sunshine and well-timed rainfall, resulting in wines with expressive fruit and vibrant acidity.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Crafted predominantly from Chardonnay, complemented by native Fiano and Moscatello Selvatico, Edda Bianco opens with enticing aromas of white peach, ripe tropical fruits, delicate orange blossom, and subtle notes of vanilla and honey, a reflection of its partial oak maturation. The palate is creamy yet lively, balancing richness and minerality, and finishes with lingering hints of citrus zest and toasted almond. This versatile wine shines alongside dishes such as seared scallops in lemon butter, herb-roasted chicken, or a tangy goat cheese salad, allowing its layered complexity and freshness to elevate a variety of Western cuisines.
