Verdeca Puglia IGT “Talò” 2023 – San Marzano
£12.90
Bright straw yellow with golden reflections.
On the nose, it reveals surprising aromas of white flowers and vanilla.
On the palate, it is fresh, vibrant, and pleasantly mineral, with a persistent savoury finish.
This wine is aged in French oak barriques to soften the natural acidity of Verdeca, a native grape with greenish skins that has been part of Puglia’s winemaking tradition for over four centuries.
“Talò” is a tribute: a surname that collectively thanks the farmers of San Marzano, who tend every vineyard as if it were their own garden. A collection of varietals, a symbol of a community.

Verdeca Puglia IGT "Talò", Why We Love It and Why You’ll Love It Too!
Some wines tell a story even before the first sip. This is one of them.
Verdeca Puglia IGT “Talò” comes from vineyards cared for like gardens. A collective effort by the families of San Marzano.
It opens with the pure freshness of white flowers and a hint of vanilla, softened by a brief passage in French oak.
On the palate, it’s crisp, mineral, and full of life, just like the winds that sweep across the Puglian hills.
It’s the kind of wine you want at your table when laughter fills the air and good food brings everyone closer.
Fresh, lively, and deeply tied to its roots — “Talò” is not just a wine.
San Marzano
San Marzano’s journey began in a small town nestled in the heart of the Primitivo di Manduria DOP, a strip of land kissed by two seas. Here, in 1962, 19 winemakers united to form the winery. At the time, the Primitivo di Manduria had not yet earned global recognition, but these pioneers chased a shared dream.
In 1996, the cooperative’s dedication enabled the purchase of a modern bottling facility, paving the way for their first bottled wines. This marked a turning point, shifting from bulk production to building a recognised brand. Today, San Marzano brings the flavours of Salento to the world, one bottle at a time.
Verdeca
Verdeca is one of the many Italian grape varieties named after the green colour of its berries, even when fully ripe.
Its origins are still debated, with theories pointing towards either Greece or Croatia.
Once widely planted, Verdeca was long considered a simple blending grape, mainly used for vermouth production.
However, its true potential has only recently been recognised.
Today, Verdeca plays a key role in Puglia’s white wine production. It is now valued both in blends and as a standalone variety. Producers like San Marzano and Tenuta Viglione have shown how Verdeca shines when produced as a mono-varietal . These wines highlight its crisp, clean fruit tones, sharp acidity, and distinctive stony minerality.
