Tosco's word
Mantellassi's Vermentino is the better choice if you want a more distinctive white from Maremma, awarded two bicchieri and a score of 7.5 that holds up well, at a price of €9.37 for a wine that pairs nicely with fish and shellfish. Serristori's Vernaccia stands out more for its floral and mineral profile, its versatility at the table (8.1) and its price of €7.96, but it displays no distinctions, hence its lower recognition. For a close duel, pick Mantellassi if recognition matters, or Serristori if you're looking for the best balance between price and versatility.
