Rocca di Frassinello Vermentino

Rocca di Frassinello Vermentino

Wine Description

A vine that gives of its best in the Maremma as well as in Sardinia. The nose has a fine and delicate hint of fruit, with aromatic citrus notes that gives the wine great freshness. It has a balanced taste, well-supported by its acidity and mineral component that give it sapidity and persistence.  The best Vermentino grapes treated with care right from the harvest, and 10 months of permanence on the lees, allow to obtain a harmonious white wine, with a full and silky sip, rich in floral aromas, citrus notes and a distinctly mineral component which gives freshness and flavor. A wine of great persistence that is able to refine in the bottle for several years.
