VALCOLOMBA VERMENTINO DELLA MAREMMA TOSCANA DOC

This Vermentino, profoundly ‘mediterranean’ in style and origin, is produced on our estate near the Maremma coastline.

Grapes: Vermentino.

Harvest: to guarantee the best results the grapes have been hand harvested into small boxes and rushed via refrigerated transportation to our state-of-the-art winery in Greve in Chianti where it has been vinified.

Winemaking: the juice obtained after gentle destemming has been subject to a brief cold soak with the skins in order to extract the finest aromatic compounds. After pressing and settling, the low temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks was started with the aid of selected yeasts.

Finishing: racked off and filtered right at the end of fermentation, it was bottled in January to maintain the freshness of the fruity aromas following a natural stabilization process. This wine has not been subject to clarifications or stabilization with chemical products.

Color: straw yellow with green highlights that turn golden over time.

Bouquet: balanced floral notes, reminiscent of the coastline air during Spring flowering.

Taste: the initial fruity and honeyed flavors give way to a gentle softness, balanced by good acidity. The finish is round, yet dry.

Alcohol: 12,5% by volume

Total acidity: 5,3 g/l

Residual sugar: 1,9 g/l

Serving temperature: 10-12°C, 50-54°F

Gastronomy: excellent as an aperitif, reaches its apex with seafood based pasta and risotto dishes, roasted fish and young cheeses.
