San Marzano 'Talo' Negroamaro Salento 2024
Vintage Character
From the sun-kissed plains of the Salento IGP, the 2024 San Marzano Talo Negroamaro Salento captures the essence of Southern Italy. The 2024 growing season was characterized by a warm, dry summer, which accelerated ripening and concentrated grape sugars, yielding a wine of rich texture and excellent value. The vineyards thrive in a terroir dominated by clay and calcareous soils, where intense daytime heat is tempered by cooling maritime breezes from the nearby Adriatic and Ionian seas, preserving essential freshness in the grapes.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
This deep purple wine opens with intense aromas of ripe black cherries, wild plums, and sweet spices like cinnamon and vanilla. On the palate, it is medium-to-full-bodied and remarkably smooth, showcasing velvety tannins and a balanced acidity that leads to a lingering, fruit-driven finish. It pairs beautifully with roasted lamb shanks, grilled eggplant parmigiana, or Peking duck.
Winery Background
Cantine San Marzano was established in 1962 when nineteen vine growers united to showcase the potential of Puglia's native varieties. Today, this cooperative has grown to include over 1,200 members who meticulously hand-harvest grapes across modern and heritage vineyards. For the Talò range, the winery utilizes temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation followed by short aging in French oak barrels, creating a benchmark Negroamaro that balances regional tradition with clean, contemporary appeal.
