Rocca delle Macìe Campo Maccione Vermentino Maremma Toscana DOC

Vinum Lector Staff — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 13:20:16 +0000

Rocca delle Macìe was established in 1973, when Italo Zingarelli, a film-maker, producer and director, decided to realize his lifelong dream by acquiring the “Le Macìe” estate, in order to create a winery in the heart of the Chianti Classico zone and to produce wines that, thanks to their balance between the tannic structure, fruit and pleasantness, can be appreciated by young people and wines that are able to give over the years a great evolution. Produced with grapes harvested at the optimal ripening moment, coming from the Campomaccione estate in the Province of Grosseto, owned by the Zingarelli Family since 1998, this Vermentino has floral hints of acacia and broom, followed by delicate fruity aromas of apple and pineapple.

Cantine Lunae Labianca Liguria di Levante IGT

Vinum Lector Staff — Wed, 01 Jun 2022 07:57:11 +0000

The Vermentino of the Lunae winery is one of the best creatures of Paolo Bosoni, founder and soul of this appreciated reality enclosed between the blue mirror of the Ligurian Sea and the green panorama of Lunigiana. Lunae’s philosophy is as simple as it is decisive: to exploit all the knowledge of its territory to transform a deep and rooted link over time into a wine that knows how to weave tradition and recent developments in the wine industry. Labianca was born from the union of two traditional vines: Vermentino and Malvasia. The grapes come from vineyards cultivated in the light and sandy lands of the plain of Luni, nestled between the Ligurian Sea and the Apuan Alps. White as the marble mountains that outline the landscape of the ancient and white city of Luni. White as the soul of this wine, delicate and persuasive, fresh with summer aromas. This particular Vermentino is combined with a small percentage of Malvasia which, in the mouth, gives a rounded softness with nuances of flowers, ripe fruit, and sea breezes. Sustainable and on organic conversion. For more info, visit Cantina Lunae website. VARIETALS 80% Vermentino, 20% Malvasia VINTAGE 2023 Download Tasting Note
