Sensory Description:

Pale straw-yellow with glints of coastal sun, this Vermentino opens with a bouquet of lemon zest, green apple, coastal herbs, sage, and delicate mint. The palate is vibrant yet rounded, with juicy orchard fruit flavors layered over a textured mineral core. A subtle salinity, carried by the influence of sea breezes and marine soils, gives the wine a savory lift and long, satisfying finish. Elegant and expressive, it perfectly captures the windswept beauty of Tuscany’s maritime hillsides.
