San Marzano Timo Vermentino 2025
San Marzano Timo Vermentino is a vibrant, highly aromatic white wine from the sun-drenched vineyards of Salento, Puglia. Crafted by the celebrated Cantine San Marzano, this premium bottling is a distinctive expression of Southern Italy's rugged coastline. Its name is inspired by the wild thyme bushes that line the Ionian shore, reflecting a beautiful, terroir-driven character that brings the spirit of the Mediterranean straight to the glass.

The finish is remarkably clean, showing a lingering, saline-infused zesty lift that bea
