Eco di Mare is a stunning expression of Vermentino from Tenuta Argentiera, one of the most prestigious and coastal estates in the Bolgheri region of Tuscany. This wine captures the very essence of the Mediterranean, with grapes sourced from vineyards at elevations of 20 to 80 meters, where the cooling Tyrrhenian sea breezes and characteristic red Aeolian sandy soils impart a distinct, vibrant mineral profile.
On the nose, it offers a sophisticated and elegant aromatic profile, leading with notes of fresh pear, banana, and citrus, perfectly complemented by delicate meadow flowers and a subtle, refreshing herbal touch that evokes the surrounding Tuscan macchia. Upon tasting, the wine is bright and lively, showcasing a crisp, well-integrated acidity that provides both energy and structure. Its most defining characteristic, however, is its persistent saline finish, a direct influence of its maritime terroir that makes each sip incredibly refreshing and authentic.
This Vermentino is an ideal companion for the dinner table, especially for those who love coastal-inspired cuisine. It pairs beautifully with classic seafood dishes such as linguine with clams, grilled octopus, or fresh oysters. Its mineral drive and herbal undertones also make it a wonderful match for vegetable-based risottos, such as shrimp and pea risotto, or a simple burrata with olive tapenade. Whether you are enjoying it as a sophisticated aperitif on a warm evening or pairing it with a light Mediterranean meal, Eco di Mare is a testament to the elegance and precision of Tenuta Argentiera’s winemaking. It is a wine that feels both elevated and approachable, offering a pure, unadulterated glimpse into the sunny, salty character of the Bolgheri coast.
