Descrizione

The Vermentino Toscana IGT from Poggio al Lupo is a true expression of the elegance and character of the Tuscan territory. This white wine is made from Vermentino grapes, carefully selected and handpicked in the early morning hours to preserve their freshness and integrity.

In the glass, the Vermentino Toscana IGT presents a bright straw-yellow color, with green highlights that underline its liveliness. On the nose, intense and persistent aromas of white-fleshed fruits such as melon and pear emerge, with a slight hint of fresh aromatic herbs, like rosemary and thyme, which add complexity and charm.

On the palate, the wine is fresh and well-balanced. The acidity is well-integrated and pairs with a pleasant mineral salinity, typical of the coastal Tuscan soils where the Vermentino vines are grown. The finish is long and aromatic, with a light citrus note that invites another sip.

Perfect as an aperitif, the Vermentino Toscana IGT from Poggio al Lupo pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, from light starters based on fish or seafood, to delicate main courses like seafood risotto or pasta with zucchini and shrimp. It is also an excellent companion for baked or grilled fish main courses.

In summary, this Vermentino offers a sensory experience that reflects the richness and diversity of the Tuscan terroir, marrying freshness and complexity in an exemplary manner.

Winery history

The property began as a project of Tommasi Family Estates to expand production beyond Valpolicella. The acquisition of land in the Pitigliano area dates back to the late 1990s, and since then the company has developed the Rompicollo, Albore and Doganella estates, renovating the farmhouse and planting vineyards aimed at producing Tuscan blends and single-varietal wines.

Production philosophy

Terroir-focused approach and pedoclimatic research: vineyard zoning, selection of suitable clones and rootstocks, high planting density and thinning techniques to prioritize the quality and character of the fruit, with attention to the typical expressions of the Maremma and its tuffaceous soils.

Terroir and vineyards

The estates are located in the Tuscan Maremma, around Pitigliano and Scansano. The vineyards benefit from a Mediterranean climate and sit on tuffaceous soils of volcanic origin that influence minerality and water retention, with distinct microzones such as Rompicollo, Albore and Doganella.
