product2025 Vermentino
Vermentino possesses an incredible ability to transmit terroir and shows off the unique qualities of Rufina. A refuge for the Florentine nobility before the advent of air-conditioning (the grapes are grown just outside of the Medici Palazzo that housed the family in the scorching summers), Rufina's cool nights protect acidity and freshness. However, the warm, sun-kissed afternoons create ripe juicy fruit. It perfectly straddles the line between more coastal examples from places like Cinque Terre or Sardinia or richer versions from Bolgheri or Montalcino.
