Vento Maremma Toscana IGT Vermentino
Maremma Toscana, Grosseto, Tuscany, Italy
I've been exploring more of the Italian varietals lately, and really diving into the Bacci family of wines. This Vermentino they make is just unique enough amungst it's kind that it stands out a hair more than the rest. A faint reminder of petrol from some German Riesling on the nose, followed by fresh white flowers, hay, and honeysuckle. The pallet is fairly flinty and minerally, with notes of ripe white pears, lemon zest, and a crisp acidity to the finish without being sharp. Instead, it is a wine that plays it's tune steadily at mezzo piano, with a sharp ring of a high note to the finish.

Some dull fruit on the palette: grapefruit pith, line, green apple. A little salinity. Paired it with salmon, as the acidity cut through the fatty fish. Fine for drinking with dinner, but I've tasted more interesting pigatos in Liguria (which are unfortunately hard to find outside of the province).
