Eco di Mare is a stunning tribute to the Tuscan coast, crafted by the prestigious Tenuta Argentiera estate in the Bolgheri area. Named in honor of the silver mines that once defined this historic landscape, the wine perfectly captures the essence of the Alta Maremma. Sourced from vineyards nestled on red Aeolian sandy soils, just 20 to 80 meters above sea level, the grapes benefit from cooling Mediterranean sea breezes that preserve their natural vibrancy and crisp acidity.
This 100% Vermentino is a masterclass in coastal elegance. Upon pouring, it reveals a luminous straw-yellow hue with subtle greenish reflections. On the nose, you are greeted by an inviting bouquet of white flowers, ripe pear, and apricot, layered with delicate herbal notes of sage and a whisper of balsamic lavender. On the palate, the wine is beautifully balanced, offering a succulent, juicy texture that is immediately lifted by its pronounced mineral character and a distinct saline finish—a true 'echo of the sea.'
Why choose this wine? It is an incredibly versatile companion for any Mediterranean-inspired table. Its bright acidity and savory depth make it an ideal match for fresh seafood, such as grilled fish, oysters, or a classic spaghetti alle vongole. It also pairs wonderfully with light risottos, seasonal asparagus, or simply as an elegant, refreshing aperitif on a warm evening. Whether you are hosting a summer dinner party or looking for a precise, high-quality white wine to elevate a casual meal, Eco di Mare delivers authentic Tuscan character in every sip. With its impressive pedigree and consistent acclaim from critics, it represents excellent value for those who appreciate the intersection of tradition, terroir, and coastal freshness.
