2009 La Spinetta Toscana Vermentino
La Spinetta's Tuscan gold is one to buy by the case. This vermentino is a brand new release and it is gorgeous white wine, perfect quencher for our summer heat! A few facts:
- Aged 4 months in stainless steel on yeast, released 6 months after harvest
- Soils - mixed clay and sand, vines approx. 10 years old.
Vermentino is an indigenous grape of Sardinia, thriving best near coastal waters and more recently in Tuscany and near the Amalfi Coast.
Bottle Notes: Rich, lush, yet elegant on the palate, it is a light golden color with a rich bouquet and complex aromas of citrus, rosemary and pine. You can almost smell the coastal water influence in the glass. The aromas are so inviting it draws you in brimming with fruit and floral notes adding minerals at the end. Medium-bodied the wine's core reveals notes of fresh apricot and white peach. The crisp acidity and long finish help show this wine's Tuscan terroir. Suggested Retail Price $18-20
