Craftsmanship & Story

Founded in 1962 by 19 visionary growers, San Marzano has become one of Italy’s most admired cooperatives. Edda Bianco is vinified from hand-picked grapes grown between the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, where warm breezes and limestone-rich soils impart purity and minerality. Fermented and aged in French oak on lees, the wine unites Chardonnay’s finesse with native varietals for complexity and Mediterranean soul.
