Aia Vecchia - Vermentino - Toscana
Description
Overview: Aia Vecchia is situated deep in the Tuscan countryside between Bolgheri and Castagneto Carducci and next to the Tyrrhenian coast, an area where a particularly favorable microclimate and ideally suited soils make possible the production of very high quality wines, known as Bolgheri. Some of Italy’s best known producers have a long and successful wine producing history here.
The owners, the Pellegrini Family, have been grape growers in the Bolgheri area for several generations and decided to found Aia Vecchia in 1996 with the mission to create a portfolio of small lot, high quality wines.
Tasting Notes: In the glass, the wine is straw yellow with pale green hues. The bouquet is fresh with zesty aromas of freshly cut grass, grapefruit and hints of salt air. On the palate, the wine has a creamy and round mouthfeel with bright acidity accompanied by hints of limestone and a slight earthiness. The finish is lengthy, dry and refreshing
Pairing: Recommended as an aperitif or an accompaniment to fresh seafood, summer salads and poultry.
