Vermentino is one of Liguria’s great white wines, and the Riviera Ligure di Ponente is a particularly well-suited area for it. Here the mild climate, the nearby sea and the bright coastal light help the grapes ripen and give fragrant, fresh wines with a pleasant salinity. The DOC regulations describe this style as delicate, fruity, dry and harmonious.
Our Vermentino expresses exactly this balance: approachability, aromatic finesse and a pleasant tension on the palate, typical of Ligurian whites.
Tasting notes
Pale straw yellow
Fresh and delicate, with hints of wildflowers and aromatic herbs, especially rosemary and thyme, blended with fruity notes of apricot and pineapple; good intensity and persistence.
Fresh, persistent and pleasantly smooth.
The wine is made using traditional methods, with attention to two key steps:
- limiting the contact between must and skins to a few hours, to bring out the typical aromas
of the skins and a moderately intense color.
- controlling the alcoholic fermentation of the must with refrigeration, at about 20 °C, to enhance and preserve the grape’s typical characteristics. The result is a wine of about 12% ABV.
Vermentino is an extremely versatile wine, perfect with Ligurian and Mediterranean cuisine.
It pairs naturally with fish, shellfish and seafood dishes, as well as simple preparations such as grilled fish, vegetables and white meats.
Its freshness and light salinity also make it ideal as an aperitif.
