Talo is the surname of one of the winegrowers that has supplied San Marzano for many years. San Marzano recognizes their producers' contribution, with whom they work closely to achieve the best from their land. The outstanding quality of these wines could not be created without them. The vineyard is located in Salento, Puglia at approximately 100 meters above sea level. The soft soil layer is clayey and quite thin, with a good presence of rocks, making it an ideal growing location for vines. The harvest takes place during the second week of September.

In 1962, 19 vine growers from San Marzano whose families had farmed the land for generations combined their efforts to establish 'Cantine San Marzano'. Through the decades, this cooperative has grown significantly, attracting over 1,200 top-quality vine growers. They produce elegant wines that pay homage to the ancient Apulian wine traditions using modern and technologically advanced vinification techniques. The fusion of time-honoured tradition, passion, and contemporary techniques enables this winery to produce wines with distinctive varietal and regional characteristics while reflecting the local terroir. In 2021, San Marzano was awarded the ‘Cooperative Winery of the Year Award’ by Gambero Rosso.
