Terre del Casone – Vermentino – 2024
Toscana IGT, Italy 🇮🇹
Overview
Building on the charm of the 2023 vintage, the 2024 Vermentino adds an extra layer of character and intensity. Still crafted by the Castellani family, it reflects a slightly warmer growing season that enhanced texture, aromatics, and persistence, without sacrificing freshness.
Aromas & Flavors
Vivid lemon blossom, green melon, and nectarine unfold into richer notes of pear, lime peel, and crushed seashell. There’s a subtle herbal undertone of thyme and fennel that nods to its coastal terroir.
Mouthfeel
More pronounced and textural than 2023, rounder mid-palate, but still crisp and focused. Excellent balance between fruit concentration and saline minerality.
Food Pairings
A brilliant match for shrimp scampi, seafood risotto, grilled calamari, or even soft cheeses like burrata with basil oil.
Verdict
The 2024 takes everything great about its predecessor and turns up the definition. Slightly deeper, slightly more assertive, yet just as refreshing. A step forward in complexity for this coastal gem. Cheers!
🍷 Personal Pick Highlight
Currently sipping this vintage, it’s impressive how this humble Vermentino evolves with each year. The 2024 brings personality and poise in perfect harmony.
