The Frescobaldi winery is one of the most historic, important and well-known wineries in Tuscany and Italy as a whole. This winery has an ancient history and today it’s still one of the major wine producers in Tuscany, with a total of 1200 hectares under vine in prestigious estates with historic homes and ancient castles. And it is in one of these marvellous estates, namely that of Ammiraglia in Maremma, where the Frescobaldi's Vermentino Massovivo Ammiraglia was born – the name coming from the blocks of stones that emerge in the vineyard. The varieties of Vermentino Massovivo Ammiraglia grow within a terroir characterised by a subsoil composed of cyclopean yellow stones. The grapes, carefully selected during the harvest phase, spontaneously ferment in stainless steel containers thanks to the presence of indigenous yeasts, with a partial cryo-maceration also taking place. Subsequently, it ages 4 months in stainless steel, to keep intact the peculiarities of the original grape: the Vermentino della Maremma. It is a young, thirst-quenching wine that has a beautiful straw yellow colour with golden reflections. The intense aromas recall fragrances of fruit and white flowers, and notes of citrus and Mediterranean scrub. The body is light and smooth, with a lively full flavour and drinkable sip. Perfect for everyday meals, fish and shellfish-based dishes, stewed white meat or vegetable-based dishes.
