Nose
The 2022 Vermentino presents aromas of white peach, citrus, and Anjou pear.
Palate
The palate is fresh and vibrant on the attack, followed by flavors of nectarine and melon. A balanced palate leads to a clean finish with subtle hints of salinity, true to Vermentino’s varietal identity.

Winemaking
The grapes were harvested and the juice was lightly pressed from the whole berries. Cold settling took place prior to being racked clean off of solids and inoculated with yeast. Fourteen days of cold fermentation in tank captured bright aromas and the wine finished fermentation at 12% alcohol. Two months aging on lees softened the edges prior to being racked clean again and held in tank for bottling.
Aging
Aged seven months in stainless steel tanks.
Food Pairing
Pair with oysters, crudo, ceviche, summer salads, and white fish.
