Zesty aromatic nose with notes of preserved lemon, wild herbs and white flower. The palate is taut and fresh with bright citrus fruit and a lightly mineral, saline character. All balanced by crisp acidity, and with a touch of white pepper on the finish.

From Uggiano's new estate in Maremma, Vermentino's heartland in southern Tuscany, this is a fantastic follow-on to the '21 vintage which took the IWC Italian White Trophy.

The Vermentino vines are cultivated in soils which are a combination of sandy clay and gravel, rich with organic matter.

After a cold maceration for 12-15 hours at 10-12ºC the grapes undergo a soft pressing. Then the free-run juice is fermented at 18-22ºC in stainless steel.

A perfect match for shellfish and grilled fish.
