This fresh, lively white sees only stainless steel with aromas of bright citrus, flowers, herbs and a touch of meringue on the nose. Nuanced and wonderfully focused, the Vermentino has an energy and acidity that drives the wine’s enticing personality. This is a medium-to full-bodied wine with good density, ideal enjoyed quite young.
A pale silver/straw color, the 2023 Vermentino is a great Sauvignon Blanc-like expression with refreshing tropical fruit notes of guava, tropical flowers, white grapefruit, and sea spray. The palate is salty and savory, with pithy lemon citrus notes, impressive bright acidity, and a persistent, focused feel. I am impressed with this wine and would recommend it over the coming 5-7 years.
The 2023 Vermentino is a wild, exotic wine. Tangerine peel, mint, jasmine, passionfruit and white flowers are all amplified in this intensely aromatic, tropical white. There's just enough to keep things in balance.
The 2022 Vermentino is a rich, exotic white. Passionfruit, mango, white flowers and apricot are all nicely amplified. Readers will find a textured, resonant Vermentino that is best enjoyed with similarly rich foods.

Italian Vermentino is enjoying a moment of immense popularity, and it's easy to see why. The 2017 Vermentino is bright, crisp and linear. The Casanova della Spinetta property is located near the Tuscan Coast, not too far from Pisa and Volterra. That slightly inland positioning means that this expression does not have the chiseled citrusy quality you often get with the grape. Instead, this loose and fresh white (made without malolactic fermentation) offfers yellow fruit flavors with an elegant mineral signature of crushed oystershell. Fruit is selected for this wine during four separate harvests.
A delicious and tangy white with sliced apple, pear and fresh lemon character. Medium to full body, layered and energetic. Shows depth and beauty at the finish. Drink or hold.
