Winemaker Notes
The wine displays a delicate straw color and a fresh, subtle fragrance with hints of wildflowers and herbs, particularly rosemary and thyme, complemented by fruity notes of apricot and pineapple with notable intensity and persistence, while the palate is fresh, persistent, and pleasantly mellow, making it a dry wine that pairs especially well with seafood.
A fantastic, aromatic white grape that grows with great success in Sardinia, Tuscany and in lesser proportions on the island of Corsica. Somm Secret—Vermentino is thought to be genetically identical to Liguria’s Pigato grape and Peidmont’s Favorita. It comprises a large proportion of the whites in southern France where it is called Rolle.
Liguria’s most extensive DOC along its northwest coast from Genoa to France, the area concentrates on the production of Vermentino (called Pigato here), Dolcetto (called Ormeasco here), Alicante and Rossese di Dolceaqua.
