Tasting Notes: The color is a bright straw yellow with golden highlights. The nose is rich and mineral-like, with hints of apricot and grapefruit, sage, and flint. Notes of hydrocarbons and honey will emerge as it ages and evolves. On the palate, the savory-tanginess and liveliness are supported by a good structure.

Winemaking: Soft crushing and pressing of the grapes through pneumatic presses. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature. Selected yeasts are used. Malolactic fermentation is stopped by the use of cold temperatures. Aging taking place in steel until bottling. Bottle aging for at least one month.

Brand Story: “Le Vedute: name ‘the views’  because the Castle of Castagneto Carducci opens onto landscapes of woods, vineyards and the sea in the distance. A Vermentino capable of immediately surprising, but also being remembered. The grapes come from Cerreto Guidi, specifically from Fattoria Montalbano. An excellent area for whites and rosés, it is characterized by sea breezes coming up from the river Arno and a good range of day-to night-time temperatures.”

Decanter: “Gooseberry, lemon and mineral nose, with tropical fruit flavours and a lifted, refreshing, textured finish.”

Wine Enthusiast: “Fresh, light, bright, salty and sunny on the nose, this is a Vermentino that’s immediately inviting and easy to love, and yet one that also hints at hidden sophistication as it opens up to reveal herbaceous undertones and more flinty, crushed-sea shell salinity.”
