Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine for a moment the Tuscan sun caressing your skin, the sea breeze in your hair… That is exactly the emotion this Vermentino Costa Toscana IGT, named àuricA by Folonari, invites you to experience. A white wine that captures the very essence of the Mediterranean dolce vita, a promise of freshness and delicate flavors.
The Folonari estate, with its history rooted in the Tuscan wine-growing landscape, offers us here a luminous expression of Vermentino. This grape variety, perfectly suited to the Area Costiera della Toscana, benefits from a climate in which the proximity of the sea brings unique minerality and salinity. It is in these lands bathed in light and sea spray that Vermentino draws its distinctive character, far from the oak ageing that could mask its original purity.
From the very first glance, you will be charmed by its pale straw-yellow color, a promise of a dazzling tasting. On the nose, this Vermentino unfolds a fresh and linear bouquet, where notes of white flowers, lively citrus fruits like grapefruit and citron, and a subtle herbaceous touch harmoniously blend. A hint of bitter almond rounds off this aromatic profile, bringing a discreet but intriguing complexity. On the palate, it reveals itself as sapid and fluid, carried by a fine acidity that supports a persistent finish. It is crisp, fresh, with scents of tropical fruits, and its vinification is designed to preserve all this aromatic richness and liveliness.
This àuricA Vermentino is an invitation to conviviality and lightness. I highly recommend it for aperitivo, where its freshness and aromatic profile will shine. It pairs naturally with the delights of the sea: think of fish dishes, seafood salads, or light antipasti. Its sapidity is also an asset to enhance fresh cheeses and shellfish-based dishes. It is the ideal wine to accompany your Mediterranean cuisine, without ever masking its delicacy. Serve it young and well chilled, and let yourself be carried away by this Tuscan gem.
