The organic-certified Terenzuola family winery produce delicious Vermentino-based white and red wines in the Colli di Luni wine region on the border of Tuscany and Liguria, about 5kms from the Mediterranean Sea just south of the Cinque Terre. These are wines of freshness and elegance which have a surprisingly capacity to develop in complexity over several years in bottle.
Their Terre Basse Vermentino is grown on sand and gravel soils at around 150mts altitude at the foot of the Fosdinovo hill. This fresh and fruity white is bursting with white peach and stone fruit flavours and has a gentle balancing acidity. It would be fabulous as a summer apero or even better with a dish of spaghetti alle vongole! A good value introduction to this producer’s wines!
“I recently tasted this wine at the end of a long day spent sipping, spitting and typing but its fresh, pure, herbal and apple-and-pear aromas and flavours along with a stony/salty, dry, palate-grabbing texture restored my energy…This is a seamless wine unconstrained by borders, made by a winegrower inspired by living and working beyond them.” 17/20pts and Julia Harding MW’s Wine of the Week 28th March 2025 on jancisrobinson.com.
