White wine | Maremma Toscana, Italy
Imagine yourself on the sun-kissed coast of Tuscany, a gentle sea breeze whispering through the vineyards. This is the essence of Mantellassi's Lucumone Vermentino. This wine is a tribute to the Etruscan civilization that once thrived in the Maremma region. The winery has been producing high-quality wines since 1960. The Lucumone offers a taste of this ancient land, crafted from 100% Vermentino grapes, cultivated on the gentle slopes of the Maremma Toscana DOC. This wine shows a bright straw-yellow color with greenish hues. It expresses all the varietal characteristics: intense aromas of white flowers, citrus fruits, and delicate herbal notes. On the palate it is dry, fresh and savory, with a good balance between acidity and minerality.
This is more than just a wine; it's an invitation to experience the art of Italian living. The Lucumone Vermentino is incredibly versatile. Its crisp acidity and aromatic profile make it a perfect partner for seafood dishes, from grilled fish to shellfish pasta. Imagine it alongside a plate of Spaghetti alle Vongole, where its minerality will complement the briny sweetness of the clams.
It also pairs beautifully with light salads, creamy risottos, and fresh cheeses like mozzarella or ricotta. For a truly Tuscan experience, try it with a simple panzanella salad or a grilled chicken seasoned with herbs and lemon. The Lucumone will refresh your palate and enhance the flavors of your meal. You are not just buying a bottle of wine; you are investing in an experience, a piece of Tuscan sunshine that you can savor with every sip. It's a wine that invites conversation, laughter, and the simple joy of sharing good food and wine with friends and family. So, uncork a bottle of Mantellassi's Lucumone Vermentino and let it transport you to the enchanting landscape of the Maremma Toscana.
