This Vermentino is yellow in colour with golden hues. Delicate white and yellow floral notes of lily and daffodil are prominent on the nose, alongside aromas of golden apple, ripe white peach and subtle hints of tropical fruit. On the palate there is a lovely mineral note with a well-balanced, refreshing acidity, medium body and a pleasant, persistent finish.

The Vermentino grapes are selected from sites at Poggiotondo with a higher concentration of seashell fossils ('conchiglie' in Italian), which impart elegance, complexity and minerality to the wine. Located in Cerreto Guidi, near Vinci, these south-east facing vineyards are planted at an altitude of 100 metres above sea level, with a density of around 5,000 vines per hectare, with the vines trained using the Guyot system.

The Vermentino grapes were harvested by hand and carefully sorted. Whole clusters were gently pressed in a pneumatic press and the juice was allowed to naturally settle, followed by a 6 days maceration on gross lees at 8°C. The must was racked off its gross lees and fermented in cement tanks with 20% whole bunches at 18°C over a period of 20 days. No malolactic fermentation took place. The wine remained on its fine lees for 2 months in temperature-controlled concrete tanks until bottling.
