Campo alle Comete Vermentino 2018

Campo alle Comete is an enchanting winery located in the Bolgheri region of Tuscany, an area renowned for its high-quality wines. The estate, owned by the Campanian winemaking family Feudi di San Gregorio, brings a touch of southern Italian elegance to Tuscany’s prestigious wine region. Known for their innovative approach, Campo alle Comete produces a range of wines that reflect both the richness of the Tuscan terroir and the family's winemaking expertise. The Vermentino 2018 stands out as a vibrant white that showcases the character of this coastal region.

The Bolgheri terroir, with its sandy, clay-rich soils and proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea, imparts a unique saline minerality and freshness to the Vermentino. The climate, influenced by the sea breeze and the region's sunny days, is ideal for producing crisp and aromatic wines. Campo alle Comete adopts a meticulous winemaking process, focusing on low yields and careful vinification to preserve the natural flavours and aromatics of the Vermentino grape.

Appearance: Light golden yellow with a slight greenish hue, bright and clear in the glass.

Aroma: Intense and aromatic, with notes of ripe citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit, mingling with hints of white peach, green herbs, and a touch of saline minerality.

Taste: Fresh and lively, with flavours of lemon, lime, and stone fruits such as apricot and peach. There’s a subtle herbal character, and the palate is underpinned by a crisp acidity and a pleasant mineral undertone that reflects its coastal origins.

Finish: Long and refreshing, with a lasting impression of citrus zest and a subtle hint of sea salt.

Food Pairing: This Vermentino is a fantastic match for seafood risotto, where the wine’s crisp acidity cuts through the richness of the dish while enhancing the flavours of the seafood. It also pairs beautifully with grilled prawns or langoustines, complementing their sweetness with the wine’s vibrant citrus and mineral notes.
