Cecchi La Mora Vermentino Maremma Toscana DOC 2024
Coastal Tuscany in a glass sun-warmed stone fruit, salty sea breeze, and a finish that lingers like a perfect summer afternoon.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Vermentino, from the Maremma Toscana DOC the wild, sun-drenched coastal strip of southern Tuscany, Italy. La Mora is produced with grapes grown along the coast of warm and sunny Tuscany, where the maritime influence brings a natural freshness and salinity to the variety. Vinification takes place in white, with cold pre-fermentation maceration, and the wine is refined for at least two months in bottle before release.
Taste Profile: Fresh and fruity, with candied lemons, white stone fruit, and orange blossoms on the nose. The palate is juicy and full of character, with a medium body and lively acidity coming through, and a zesty, flavourful finish. Juicy tropical and citrus fruit flavours mingle with pleasant minerality, making it a wonderful aperitif or partner to seafood. Rated 89pts by James Suckling. Best served well chilled at 810C. Drink now through 2027.
Winemaking Process: Vinification takes place in white, with cold pre-fermentation maceration to preserve the fresh aromatic character of the Vermentino grape. Fermentation takes place over 15 days at a controlled 15C, followed by at least two months of bottle refinement before release. The result is a wine of bright, clean fruit with a characteristic slightly bitter, mineral finish the hallmark of well-made Vermentino from the Tuscan coast
