2021 Vermentino, Il Torchio - Liguria
Tax included
Only 3 in stock
The 2021 Vermentino from Il Torchio is a cracking white from Liguria, that sun-drenched sliver of north-western Italy hugging the Med. This family-run estate, now in the hands of siblings Gilda and Edoardo, farms organically on ancient terraces above the Gulf of La Spezia. With only 5 hectares under vine, they focus on native varietals, and this Vermentino is the star of the show.
The 2021 vintage was marked by a mild spring and warm, dry summer, resulting in a zippy, aromatic wine. Expect citrus blossom, sea spray, green apple and a hint of almond – it’s like a sea breeze in a glass. There's a touch of salinity on the finish, classic of Liguria’s coastal terroir, thanks to the sea-facing vineyards and schistous soils.
Pair it with grilled sea bass, pesto linguine (it is Liguria, after all), or even a plate of fried whitebait. Summer in a bottle, truly.
