Vermentino & Vermentino-based Blends

This wine is made from 100% Vermentino grapes that are selected from some of the oldest vines in various estate vineyards. After a soft pressing, the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks to capture all the authentic character of this flavorful white grape.

Tasting Notes

Lemon-green in color, aromas of apple and tree fruits complement undertones of apricot, toasted almond, and honey. On the palate, this wine shows a well-rounded mouthfeel that is beautifully balanced against its zesty acidity. 

Food Pairing

Pair this wine with oysters on the half-shell, butter and garlic sauces, vichyssoise, or serve it as a refreshing aperitif.
