Terre del Buontalenti Organic Vermentino 2022

Terre del Buontalenti Organic Vermentino Ansonica, Tuscany, Italy, 2022      

Grapes: 80% Vermentino & 20% Ansonica, fermented in concrete tanks, unoaked

The Vermentino Ansonica is light, pale straw in colour, clear and bright. On the nose it shows perfumes of white flowers, ripe stoned fruit such as white peaches and a touch of flint. On the palate the wine is lively with distinct mineral characters, well-balanced and fruit driven, with notes of golden apple and yellow peach, almost tropical.

Terre del Buontalenti is a Tuscan collaboration connecting small grape growers under the expert guidance of winemaker Alberto Antonini. This alliance of “great talents” aims for a conscious return to tradition in the vineyard and the cellar. The resulting wines are pure, clean and recognisable for their freshness and quality. The vineyards of Terre del Buontalenti are located in Tuscany: limestone, schist, granite and sandstone are characteristic of this region’s mineral-rich soils. These precious nutrients are absorbed by the vines and their characteristics are reflected in the wines’ personalities, giving them juiciness, vibrancy, vitality and great texture.

Light and fresh, this Vermentino pairs well with seafood, pesto sauce, pork tenderloin, fish, salads and pasta dishes featuring vegetables.
