Terenzuola, Vermentino Nero 2022

 Producer: TerenzuolaRegion: Tuscany, ItalyGrape Varieties: 90% Vermentino Nero, 10% PolleraViticulture: Practicing OrganicCategory: RedSize: 750ml At once both Tuscan and Ligurian, the wines of Terenzuola reflect the duality of their terroir. The vineyards face the Mediterranean, which provides warm sun and cool breezes, but also find themselves in the Apuan Alps (a subzone of the Apennine mountain chain), which provide freshness and complexity. The resulting wines dance on the palate with an incredible balance of fruit, minerality, acidity and complexity. And the history of the family that owns the estate is no less captivating than the wines themselves. In 2007, together with winemaker Ivan Giuliani's friend and fellow vigneron Marco Nicolini, he renovated the cellars at Terenzuola, and brought the total hectares under his management to 18. Also in this year, he formed a partnership with Evasio Pasini, whose family for centuries had lived and cultivated vineyards in the Riomaggiore
