Terre del Casone
Toscana Vermentino
Tuscany, Italy
This wine is a pale yellow in the glass. Its nose has notes of citrus, peach and pear, but mostly there is a blast of salt sea air in the sniff. There is a very nice salinity on the palate as well, with citrus leading the way as far as flavors go. The acidity is nothing to write home about, but I had mine with some crackers and a homemade raita. It was fine. I would not want to waste crab or lobster on it, though.

Green / yellow apple nose with some traces of white flower; lower acidity on palate, characteristic #vermentino touch of salinity - paired quite nicely with broccolini spinach fettuccini with a red sauce.

Terre del Casone – Vermentino – 2023
Toscana IGT, Italy 🇮🇹
Overview
From the Castellani family’s Tuscan portfolio, this Vermentino captures the maritime charm of the Mediterranean coast. The 2023 vintage is bright, approachable, and refreshingly pure, showcasing the varietal’s zesty profile while maintaining a soft Tuscan elegance.
Aromas & Flavors
Generous aromas of lemon peel, ripe mandarin, and white peach lead into juicy yellow stone fruit, mango, and a delicate saline note. Gentle hints of wild herbs and wet stone provide depth and freshness.
Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied, with crisp acidity and a clean, mineral-driven texture. The finish is smooth and balanced, leaving a lingering impression of citrus zest and sea breeze.
Food Pairings
Ideal with grilled fish, Tuscan seafood stews, herb-crusted salmon, or creamy white pasta dishes.

A delightful and honest Vermentino that overdelivers for its price point. Fresh, aromatic, and easy to love—proof that Tuscany’s coast can rival Sardinia and Liguria in crafting elegant Vermentino. Cheers!
Did You Know?
Vermentino thrives near the Tyrrhenian Sea, where maritime winds help maintain acidity and aromatic vibrancy, even in warmer vintages.

Crisp clear. Smooth finish. Nice light wine would be great for summer, paired with pork or fish

Happy white, bright and sunny with apple and citrus notes but not dry. Would be a good spring or summer glass on a hot day.
