The name evokes a landscape. "Pearl of the Forest" – those ancient strips of macchia between the vineyards and the Tyrrhenian Sea, from whose herbs, pine trees and wildflowers the wind carries a daily bath of aromas into the vines. Tua Rita has been producing Vermentino since 1992 – the estate's very first vintage. Not an experiment, not a trend, but a firm commitment. 100% Vermentino from the mineral-rich soils of the Colline Metallifere. The vines are grown without topping – their shoots are allowed to spread out as a natural canopy over the grapes, protecting the bunches from heat stress and preserving the aromas. Fermentation and ageing take place in stainless steel: no wood to interfere between the grape variety and the terroir. "The trick is maintaining the acidity," says Stefano Frascolla.

Pale yellow with green highlights. On the nose, white flowers, melon, green apple, grapefruit peel and a hint of Mediterranean scrub – fresh, precise, immediate. On the palate, it is well-structured and lively, with delicate spice, a salty, mineral note and a long, clean finish. The sea in a bottle – and Rita Tua, as the guardian of white wines, is, as always, a cut above the rest. SUPERIORE.DE

"A bright straw-yellow colour with delicate olive-green highlights. On the nose, it initially smells of cream sweets, followed by a hint of banana and pear, with a subtle resinous undertone; it is also slightly resinous on the palate, with a delicately bitter note, good body and texture, and a long, lingering finish – fruity!" Falstaff

"The 2025 Vermentino Perlato del Bosco is terrific. Creamy and layered, the Vermentino offers gorgeous varietal character. Lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers and white pepper all build effortlessly. All the elements are beautifully balanced." Vinous

"Its bright, lemony, apple-like and creamy bouquet gives way to a rich and zesty flavour of wonderfully juicy peach, green fruits and pink grapefruit. The chewy acidity, the spice and the saltiness ensure a delicious finish." Decanter
