Zagare Vermentino – Adria Vini

A vibrant and expressive Vermentino from Sicily’s west coast, where many of the vineyards face the sea to benefit from light reflected from the waves. It’s named after the delicate white flower of the lemon tree.

MORE INFORMATION

Producer 

Established in 2003, Adria Vini is a winemaking venture jointly owned by Boutinot and Araldica Castelvero, the leading co-operative in the Monferrato hills of Piemonte. Our aim is to produce authentic, well-priced still and sparkling wines from local grape varieties. All aspects of production, from grape selection through to vinification, maturation, blending and bottling are meticulously overseen by Araldica’s winemaking team of Claudio Manera and Lella Burdese – assisted by Boutinot’s Tony Brown MW. We source from a range of private growers and cooperatives, with whom we have long term relationships, principally in Veneto, Friuli, Lombardy, Sicily, Puglia, Abruzzo and Sardinia.

Viticulture

Vermentino thrives near the sea, such as on Sicily’s west coast where these grapes are cultivated – also the source of some of the island’s best Grillo. 

Winemaking

Fermentation is in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks followed by a short period on fine lees.

Taste

Ripe stone fruit aromas with zesty lemon and floral notes. The palate has bright citrus peel and peach characters, an appealing texture and minerality, fresh acidity and a gently savoury finish.

Food Pairing

Delicious with fish and seafood, and simple pasta dishes.
