San Marzano, Puglia Talò Chardonnay 2025 White

San Marzano Talò Chardonnay 2025 is a polished white wine from Puglia, combining fresh Mediterranean character with four months of maturation in French oak. Its elegant balance of floral aromas, tropical fruit, vanilla and mineral freshness makes it an appealing expression of southern Italian Chardonnay. The Talò range reflects San Marzano’s modern approach while remaining rooted in the long winemaking tradition of Puglia.

Tasting Notes
The wine typically shows a bright straw-yellow appearance. On the nose, it offers aromas of white flowers and ripe tropical fruit, complemented by subtle vanilla notes from its time in oak. On the palate, it is elegant and refreshing, with a mineral character that provides definition and balance to the fruit. The finish is clean and pleasantly persistent. It is best enjoyed in its youth, while its freshness and aromatic profile are at their most expressive, though careful cellaring for a few years should allow the oak and fruit to integrate further.

Production
The grapes are cultivated in Puglia, between the Ionian and Adriatic Seas, where Mediterranean conditions, red soils and challenging influences such as drought, frost and Sirocco winds shape the wines. After destemming, the grapes undergo several hours of cool skin contact to extract delicate floral aromas before being pressed. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks for 13–15 days at 15°C, followed by four months of maturation in French oak barrels.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 10–12°C. San Marzano Talò Chardonnay is a natural match for fish-based pasta, seafood starters and other light appetisers, while its freshness and gentle oak character also make it particularly suitable with mild and medium-aged cheeses. Decanting is not necessary; simply open shortly before serving to allow the aromas to develop in the glass.

Producer
Cantine San Marzano was founded in 1962, when 19 local winegrowers joined forces in the town of San Marzano. Today, the cooperative brings together more than 1,200 growers and combines advanced winemaking facilities with Puglia’s longstanding viticultural traditions. Located in the heart of the Primitivo di Manduria area, between Taranto and Brindisi, San Marzano is closely associated with the region’s ability to produce rich yet elegant wines from its distinctive red soils and Mediterranean terroir.
