Current condition

Bright acidity, youthful fruit

The 2022 vintage of this Vermentino shows good acidity and freshness typical of the variety. Due to its light-bodied nature and moderate alcohol, it is expected to peak early and maintain quality for about 5 years. Extended aging beyond this risks losing vibrant fruit character.

Food pairing

Pairs well with seafood, grilled fish, light pasta dishes, salads, and fresh cheeses.
