Production
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.

Vivino ratings
Tasting notes
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.
Food match
A perfect match for shellfish and grilled fish.

Meet the producer
The 40 hectare Tenuta Aquilaia estate was recently acquired by Azienda Uggiano. Situated in Maremma (southern Tuscany) close to Scansano, in the province of Grosseto. With an average age of ten years, the vineyards produce five red grape varieties: Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo, Alicante, Merlot and Petit Verdot; plus white varieties Vermentino and Chardonnay. The area was an old Etruscan settlement and site of ancient winemaking, and several mementos of the Etruscan era are still visible.
