    In 2008, the Mazzei family embarked on an agronomic and oenological research project designed to answer a single question: can Vermentino truly be a great wine in the Maremma? Not merely pleasant or agreeable – but great. Deep, complex and suitable for ageing. The answer came with the 2021 vintage. The former "Codice V" became "Belguardo V" – and with it, the very first Vermentino Superiore Maremma Toscana DOC ever to appear on the market. The "Superiore" stands for a conviction that took 13 years to realise, until the wine had earned that designation.

    Four Vermentino clones form the heart of this wine: two from Corsica, which contribute floral aromas and primary notes, and two from Sardinia, which provide structure and mineral character. The vineyards at 90 metres with sea views, the sandy Arenaria soils, the sea breezes from ten kilometres away – all this combines to create a terroir that gives Vermentino depth rather than lightness. In the cellar, three approaches are followed simultaneously: part is aged in amphorae on the lees, part in stainless steel sur lies, and a small proportion in barriques. From these three distinct elements, a single harmonious whole emerges.

    Golden straw yellow with greenish highlights. The bouquet is sunny and complex: white flowers, citrus zest, peach, Mediterranean scrub herbs and mineral depth. On the palate, it is robust and expressive, with lively spice and a long finish. A white wine best served not too cold – and one that even pairs well with dishes that would normally call for a red. SUPERIORE.DE

    "Bright straw yellow. Exciting on the nose, with spicy and fruity notes blending harmoniously without seeming overpowering. Aromas of camomile and Mediterranean scrub, such as rosemary and thyme, alongside fruity notes of citrus, including bergamot and mandarin. Well-balanced on the palate, very taut and salty, with good body, and a long, structured finish." Falstaff

    "Very fresh and citrusy on the nose, opening with crushed stone, lemon peels and flowers. The palate is juicy and clean with real drive, medium-bodied and a flashy vivid character that stays lifted to the close. Drink or hold." James Suckling
