Vermentino 'Balbino' Terenzi 2025
De Vermentino "Balbino" van de Toscaanse wijnmakerij Terenzi is een delicate en geurige stille witte wijn die geschikt is voor elke gelegenheid. De gelijknamige druiven, geteeld op kalkhoudende grond in de Maremma, worden zorgvuldig geselecteerd voordat ze puur worden gevinifieerd en gerijpt in roestvrijstalen tanks. De kleur is diep strogeel en de vrijgegeven aroma's zijn zoet en doen denken aan typische tonen van peer en witte bloemen. De smaak heeft een uitstekende neus-mond overeenkomst en is fris, harmonieus en evenwichtig.
The Vermentino "Balbino" from the Terenzi winery is a sunny and harmonious white, perfectly expressing the Mediterranean character of the Tuscan Maremma. A grape variety that loves wind and sun, it is found in Liguria, Sardinia, Corsica, and southern France under the name Rolle. Along the Tuscan coast, it has been at home for centuries and represents the most traditional and typical white of the territory. Its balanced, floral, and fruity character is enhanced by a delicate vinification in steel, which preserves the clear varietal fragrance of the grapes intact.
The white Vermentino "Balbino" is born in the Scansano area. The Terenzi family manages a wonderful estate of 160 hectares, of which about 60 are dedicated to viticulture. The Vermentino grapes come from different vineyards on the estate, cultivated in the sunny area of the gentle hills of the first inland of the Tuscan Maremma. The medium-textured soils, rich in limestone, and the warm, breezy climate are perfect for this grape variety with a typically Mediterranean and marine character, which especially loves coastal areas. The harvest takes place around mid-September, and the ripest and healthiest bunches are gently pressed. The free-run must ferments in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 18 °C. Before bottling, the wine matures for a few months in steel tanks.
The Vermentino "Balbino" from Terenzi is a white that captivates with its balance and pleasant taste. A perfect interpreter of the tradition of Tuscan coastal whites, it pairs very well with seafood pasta dishes, pasta with clams, seafood, and grilled fish. To be tried with fresh or lightly aged pecorino. It presents itself visually with a light yellow color, bright reflections, and slight golden hues. It seduces the nose with a bouquet of delicate aromas of acacia flowers and hawthorn, hints of orange blossom and citrus peel, aromas of white-fleshed fruit, pear, melon, and nuances of aromatic herbs from the Mediterranean scrub. Elegant and harmonious, it has a sip of delicate, soft, and ripe fruit, well balanced by a pleasant savory trail and a finish of good freshness.
