Awarded 99/100 by Luca Maroni – Leading Italian Wine Critic
Gold Medal – Women’s Wine & Spirits Awards 2023
Gold Medal – Berliner Wine Trophy Summer Tasting 2023
Rated 99 points in five straight vintages… Edda (‘she’ in Salento dialect) is the feminine and sensual soul of San Marzano. This region also produces a number of whites with structure, complexity, and enough body to hold up to chilling them down on a warm summer day. Such is the case for the Edda Bianco, an aromatic blend of Chardonnay, Moscatello, and Fiano that is flat out amazing for the price. The Moscatello matches the Chardonnay in richness, and adds notes of citrus fruits and white flowers, while the Fiano gives minerality from the layers of calcareous soils, the hallmark of whites from Puglia. Don’t miss what Luca Maroni calls the best white in Italy!
Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Edda (‘she’ in Salento dialect) is the feminine and sensual soul of San Marzano. It is a complex white wine, full of Mediterranean notes. Noticeable acidity intertwined with an enveloping and elegant warmth, savoury and mineral notes on the palate. The Chardonnay grapes give the wine finesse and longevity, together with different varieties indigenous to Puglia, that year after year compete to complement the blend.
Straw yellow with goldish reflections; mellow floral notes, peach and delicate vanilla hints pervade the nose. Generous in its elegance, fresh, delicate and mineral. Aged in French oak barrels for 4 months on the yeasts with a weekly bâtonnage."
99/100 Luca Maroni (2022 Vintage)
"In the glass, the EDDA Bianco has a straw yellow colour with golden reflections; soft citrus fruits and delicate floral vanilla notes fill the nose. The taste is generous, elegant, fresh, delicate and mineral. The finish is long and soft. The wine goes well with starters and intermediate dishes of fish and shellfish, chicken or shrimp. But above all, great with soft cheeses."
