Poggiotondo Vermentino Toscana (IGT) 2021, 12.5% ABV
RRP €19.95 - Wineonline
Brigid gives the nod to Chicken Fajitas and Vegetarian Lasange as pairings for this Tuscan Vermentino.
This organic Vermentino from Tuscany comes in a bright straw-yellow colour. In the aromas, you’ll pick up delicate but definite floral scents. On the palate, there are apple, citrus and peach flavours, and a balancing acidity before a pleasing, refreshing finish. Highly Recommended.
Poggiotondo is dedicated to making authentic, pure expressions of indigenous Tuscan grapes, including Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Colorino and Trebbiano. The estate’s vineyards have been certified organic since 2014. The winery utilises concrete tanks and untoasted oak casks to preserve their wines' fruit, vitality and texture.
Tuscany is not well known for its Vermentino. Sardinia is the place to go for the best, and indeed, importers Liberty Wine have excellent examples from Sardinia (Atzei Saragat Isola Dei Nuraghi ) and also a superb one from Corsica (Domaine Vico Le Bois Du Cerf Vermentinu).
I dipped into “The Home Sommelier” by Mayo woman Brigid O’Hora to read her suggested pairings for this grape. Chicken Fajitas and Vegetarian Lasange get the nod in her recently published book.
