Taste Block

Tasting Notes

85% Vermentino, 15% Chardonnay

Mineral, lively, and restrained, this refreshing white wine from Umbria showcases citrus notes, lemon zest, green pears, tarragon, and the essence of oyster shell. Its excellent balance between fresh fruit and a savory aspect is enhanced by an undercurrent of sea-like minerality. The wine also possesses a distinctly saline quality throughout.



Pairing Block

Food Pairing

Umbrian white wines, often based on Grechetto or Trebbiano, pair well with freshwater fish, roasted poultry, and vegetable-driven dishes common to Umbria. Their moderate acidity and subtle texture allow them to complement olive oil-based preparations, legumes, and light cheeses while maintaining balance with simple, rustic flavors.
