Sequerciani Vermentino 2023

Sequerciani's Vermentino perfectly captures the beauty of an undersung Tuscan gem: the Maremma, a region that is blessed with transcending sunshine and an invigorating sea breeze. Vermentino – a grape of competing geographical origins, be it Spain, Corsica, or right here in Tuscany – loves a sunny climate and this coastal zone has that in spades. A bit more rustic than perhaps its Ligurian counterparts, this has a naturally cloudy but vibrant golden-pear color – one look says it all. Ripe yellow orchard fruit, honey, wild flowers and sage meet in this mid-weight, saline-finishing wine. Hand harvested, fermented with only indigenous yeast, and then aged in steel, this fruity and fresh Tuscan white holds its own with bold, seaside fare.
