the Vines
Vermentino is one of the most widespread white grape varieties in Italy.
The ideal areas for its cultivation are those near the sea, where other vines
would suffer from salty winds and prolonged drought.
Vermentino gives its best especially on the Tyrrhenian coast, in Liguria, Tuscany and Sardinia.
The aroma of its wine is delicate and elegant, which becomes more complex if aged in French oak.
The mouth is full and well-balanced, supported by the right freshness and rich flavor.
