Vermentino Toscana IGT 2022

What do you do? Thinking about Tuscany and not thinking about Vermentino? Heaven forbid! This historic and traditional Tuscan variety, but not only, is enhanced by Santa Cristina's experience, becoming a pleasant wine with a fresh, mineral flavour. Toscana IGT, the harvest of grapes that have reached perfect ripeness takes place between the second and third week of September. Once in the cellar, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and softly pressed. The must thus obtained is cooled to favour its natural clarification. This is followed by fermentation in steel tanks and subsequent ageing, again in steel, until bottling, which usually takes place at the beginning of the following spring. In the Santa Cristina Vermentino glass it has a typical straw-yellow colour. On the nose, intense floral notes of jasmine stand out, well in harmony with sensations of banana and melon. In the mouth, however, it is balanced, 'savoury' (as it is defined by its producers), with good freshness and, indeed, a distinct minerality. From the aperitif onwards, it is always the right time to uncork this Vermentino. It is always worth keeping a couple of bottles in the fridge. For a fish dinner, a snack with friends or an after dinner drink while planning your next holiday... in Tuscany!
