description: the color is straw yellow with green highlights. on the nose it bestows intense and pleasant scents of white flowers, elderberry and wysteria and the fruits of pear and apples with subtle aromatic herbs. on the palate, it’s pleasant and lively, dry & medium bodied. vibrant acidity with notes of zingy lime, white peach and a mineral finish express the essence of it’s origin. unoaked, crisp and fresh, delightfully dry. not buttery and not sweet.
region: made by grape growers and winemakers using 100% sustainable farming and minimal-intervention in the appellation of maremma on the southwest coast of the tuscan wine region. close to the sea, in the untouched countryside in the province of grosseto. a land full of well-kept secrets, gentle rolling hills, defined by plots of wheat, scattered with vineyards and olive orchards dotted with sheep. here and there a farm appears on a hilltop with a view that stretches to the tyrrhenian sea.
winemaking: maremma’s sandy soils mixed with silt and the area’s proximity to the sea provide excellent conditions for growing trebbiano and vermentino, the predominant grapes in our good clean white. the regions unique terroir provides quality from the start to produce good wine.
grapes: a refreshing blend of native italian grapes from the tuscan countryside near the sea. you can taste the unique and perfect combination of climate, soil and altitude with little outside intervention.
trebbiano: fresh and fruity, food-friendly grape producing tough-skinned berries that yield yellow juice. grown in italy as far back as roman times. dry, medium-light body, no tannins, medium-high acidity with flavors of peach, lemon, green apple, seashell and basil.
vermentino: an underrated, fantastic grape commonly grown in tuscany on slopes facing the sea where they can benefit from reflected light. produces light-bodied and deliciously complex, high quality wines for a great value. dry, with flavors of grapefruit, citrus, crushed mineralogy and saltiness from the sea.
