Vermentino can get burnt. Too much direct sunlight before the harvest and the berry loses its aromatic precursors – the bouquet flattens out, the palate becomes broader, oilier, with an almond-accentuated finish that conceals terroir instead of revealing it. This is a well-known pitfall on the Tuscan coast. In Montebamboli, it is deliberately avoided. The training is programme: Guyot on both sides, foliage kept dense so that the fruit zone remains in the shade. Only the shadiest grapes are harvested, where diffuse light protects the flavour. End of August, beginning of September, by hand, with careful selection. Cooled to 3°C overnight, then whole bunch pressing, static clarification. Fermentation 70% in steel at 18–20°C, 30% in new barriques. Six months on the fine lees with regular bâtonnage, six months in the bottle.

Straw yellow with green reflections, fine golden tones. On the nose, thyme, rosemary, sage, elderflower, broom blossom – fresh citrus peel, flint and a hint of oyster shell. Taut and precise on the palate, carried by a salty minerality – sea breeze, wet stone, a long, iodised final. This is Montebamboli at 371 metres above sea level – and a Vermentino that knows exactly which grapes it wants. SUPERIORE.DE

"Green-silver, sparkling, shiny. Great, appealing nose, subtle hints of lime, cream, noble reduction, subtle precious wood, sage and nettle. Smooth, elegant on the palate, with fine green spice, very juicy and with good, considerable length!" Falstaff
