Tuscan white wines are fresh, savory and versatile, perfect as aperitifs and ideal with fish dishes. Our selection brings together the best expressions of Tuscany’s whites, with a focus on coastal grape varieties and a contemporary style that enhances fragrance, flavor tension and drinkability.
Often overshadowed by the fame of the region’s great reds, Tuscan whites are experiencing a new season of quality: today they represent one of the most enjoyable discoveries for those who like to explore the territory off the beaten path.
Vermentino Litorale originates at Tenuta Val delle Rose, in Maremma, from vineyards overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. The coastal microclimate, breezy and illuminated, gives Vermentino a vibrant freshness, a marked savoriness and a delicate aromaticity made of citrus, white flowers and a subtle mineral note. It is a very drinkable white, capable of accompanying an entire meal without tiring the palate.
Vermentino is one of the most representative white grapes of central and southern Italy. In Tuscany it finds its terroir of choice in the Maremma: sandy and clayey soils, day-night temperature range and sea breezes create fresh but structured wines capable of expressing the terroir in a recognizable way. It is a popular choice for those seeking a white wine with character, an alternative to the more popular northern Italian varietals.
Vermentino Litorale is the ideal companion to seafood dishes, from seafood appetizers to raw, from seafood pastas to baked or grilled fish main courses. It also pairs well with seasonal vegetables, fresh cheeses, pastas with pesto and Mediterranean cuisine in general. Serving it chilled at 10-12 degrees in medium-sized glasses is the best way to grasp all its nuances.
Vermentino Litorale is perfect as a summer aperitif, dinner wine for those who love seafood or versatile choice for dinners with friends. It also goes well out of season, paired with more structured dishes such as fish soups, scampi risottos or white meat dishes. For those who want to assort their cellar or give a different bottle as a gift, it is a choice that always pleasantly surprises.
Vermentino is at its best in the first 2-3 years after bottling, a period when freshness, aromas and flavor tension are at their peak. Store it in a cool, dark place, away from heat sources, in a horizontal or slightly inclined position. Once opened, consume it within 2-3 days by sealing the bottle tightly and keeping it in the refrigerator.
