Discover the best wines made with Vermentino as a single variety or as a blend of Colline di Levanto.
Nervy, saline whites with cutting acidity and enveloping richness, showing aromas of grapefruit, lime, pear, white flowers, fresh almond, fennel and marine iodine notes. Slightly bitter finish. Star of Sardinia (Vermentino di Gallura DOCG), Liguria, coastal Tuscany (Bolgheri) and Corsica. Also in Provence and Languedoc-Roussillon as Rolle. An autochthonous Mediterranean variety.
Ligurian DOC of the Levant (La Spezia, neighbour of Cinque Terre), steep schist terroirs facing the sea. Vermentino (40–75%) as the signature white: crisp and sunny with intense notes of citrus, white flowers, Mediterranean herbs and a superb saline-iodine touch, vibrant acidity ideal with seafood. Native Albarola and Bosco as complements. Sangiovese (≥40%) and Ciliegiolo as the signature reds: red fruits, garrigue and a peppery touch.
