This Vermentino is a vibrant expression of its varietal. Its crisp, clean profile is dominated by the zesty flavors of lemon and grapefruit, complemented by subtle hints of green apple and a distinct minerality that speaks to the unique Tuscan soil. Aromatic notes of Mediterranean herbs and delicate floral undertones add layers of complexity, creating a wine that is both refreshing and sophisticated.
Imagine yourself on a warm Tuscan evening, a gentle breeze rustling through the vineyards. This is the perfect wine to accompany such moments. Its bright acidity and refreshing character make it an ideal companion for a wide range of dishes.

It also works beautifully with light salads, creamy goat cheese, and dishes featuring aromatic herbs like basil or mint. Consider serving it with a classic Tuscan Panzanella salad, where the wine's acidity will cut through the richness of the olive oil and complement the fresh tomatoes and bread.
The La Poggio Tana Vermentino is best enjoyed chilled, at around 10-12°C, to fully appreciate its aromatic complexity and crisp acidity. Pour it into a stemmed glass and allow it to breathe for a few moments, releasing its captivating aromas. This wine is a celebration of the Tuscan terroir and the art of winemaking.
