🍷 Cantina Vignaioli Morellino di Scansano introduced "San Bruzio Vermentino Superiore Maremma Toscana Doc 2023" to their "Le Vigne" line, a wine demonstrating Vermentino's long aging potential. President Benedetto Grechi explains that the idea came from tasting old vintages of Vigna Fiorini. San Bruzio, named after an ancient church near Magliano in Toscana (Grosseto), is produced using Vermentino grapes with a third harvested regularly and two-thirds left for extra two weeks for fruity aromas. After cold maceration and fermentation, it ages for six months and is bottled in July post-harvest. Described with golden straw yellow color, notes of broom and yellow plum, and a finish of apricot, the wine pairs well with fish, white meats, or fresh cheeses. Available from March 2025, it is priced at 18 euros in wine shops and the company's e-shop.
