Cellar for up to 7 years. Serve chilled. The Antinori family are regarded as winemaking royalty in Italy thanks to their early involvement in the pioneering Super Tuscan movement in the early 1970s. They first produced their famous Tignanello in 1971, controversially adding Cabernet Sauvignon to the Sangiovese base. Over the years their reputation has spread around the globe and they have numerous wineries including their Guado al Tasso property in Bolgheri near the Tuscan coast where this wine is made. The Antinori’s Bolgheri estate is particularly impressive thanks to the stunning setting on a beautiful plain surrounded by hills which form a natural protective amphitheatre. The first vintage of this Vermentino was made in 1996 and was inspired by a desire to showcase the indigenous varieties that thrive in these coastal conditions. The local microclimate here is ideally suited to the variety since cooling breezes from the nearby sea helps to preserve plenty of freshness and aromatics in the wine. To give maximum control over the winemaking, each parcel is harvested and vinified separately in stainless steel tanks. The final blend is then composed and the young wine is bottled at the start of the new year. This creates an elegant and refined white wine that’s bursting with zingy citrus freshness, salty minerality, and hints of ripe stone fruit on the pure, clean finish.
