Wines made from Vermentino grapes of Montecucco
Discover the best wines made with Vermentino as a single variety or as a blend of Montecucco.
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.
Tuscan DOC south-west between Maremma and Monte Amiata (Grosseto/Siena), neighbour of Brunello. Sangiovese the red signature (min. 85% in DOCG): structured and elegant with black cherry, blackberry, plum, violet, undergrowth, maquis herbs, tobacco and spiced note, fine tannins and dense palate — between Montalcino finesse and Morellino power. Also supple Ciliegiolo (cherry, raspberry), broad Vermentino and fresh Trebbiano.
