Overview A beautifully refreshing Tuscan white blend made from 70% Trebbiano, 20% Vermentino, and 10% Sauvignon Blanc. Produced in the coastal Maremma area of Tuscany, this wine captures the sunny Mediterranean personality of the region while maintaining freshness and balance. A fantastic example of how traditional Italian white grapes can create something incredibly easy to enjoy without sacrificing character.
Aromas & Flavors Bright citrus, green pear, white peach, and subtle tropical hints lead the way, followed by delicate herbal nuances and a light saline edge. The Sauvignon Blanc adds lift and aromatic energy, while the Vermentino contributes freshness and coastal vibrancy.
Mouthfeel Light to medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a beautifully smooth texture. Refreshing, balanced, and dangerously drinkable. The finish stays clean and lively without becoming sharp or aggressive.
Food Pairings Excellent with grilled shrimp, seafood pasta, calamari, sushi, light risotto, fresh salads, or simply as an aperitif on a warm afternoon.
Verdict This is one of those wines that quietly overperforms. Not overly complex or pretentious — just genuinely delicious, versatile, and extremely well-balanced. A perfect “second bottle suddenly disappeared” kind of wine.
Did You Know? Maremma was once considered one of Tuscany’s roughest agricultural zones, but over the last few decades it has transformed into one of Italy’s most exciting regions for fresh coastal whites and modern blends thanks to its maritime influence and diverse soils.
🍷 Personal Pick The balance here is what makes this bottle shine. The combination of Trebbiano’s freshness, Vermentino’s energy, and Sauvignon Blanc’s aromatic kick creates a white that feels joyful, engaging, and incredibly food-friendly. Hard to stop at one glass indeed. Cheers! — 11 hours ago
2016 vintage. Single vineyard Sangiovese. Super ripe black cherry and dark fruits. Mocha, currants, nutmeg, black flowers coffee beans and Bay Laurel leaves. Polished but still grippy tannins. — 9 days ago
Very deep savoury nose with some stemmy herbaceous notes. Dark fruit and savoury wooden notes. Dark cherry. Then a finale of spice and smoke. Med high acid and super fine integrated tannins. Poised and quietly powerful. — a year ago
