Description
What kind of wine it is
Poggio dei Gorleri Vermentino Apricus is a still white wine that embodies the essence of the Riviera Ligure di Ponente. Made from Vermentino grapes, it stands out for its elegant style and easy drinking. On the nose, it reveals citrus notes with herbal hints, while the palate displays a marked minerality and freshness. The aromatic profile offers a nod to the sea breeze. At the table, it pairs well with lean fish, enhancing fresh shellfish, and is ideal for complementing cheeses.
Where it comes from
This white wine originates from the Riviera Ligure di Ponente, a wine-growing area strongly influenced by its proximity to the sea, which gives the grapes unique characteristics. The Poggio dei Gorleri winery cultivates its vines over eight hectares, producing wines that reflect the Ligurian identity. The company philosophy is based on careful agricultural management focused on environmental sustainability, minimising the use of chemicals both in the vineyard and during processing. The influence of the coastal microclimate is fundamental in developing the typical savoury freshness of the grape variety, resulting in a product with a strong character deeply connected to its land of origin.
How it is produced
The vinification of Poggio dei Gorleri Vermentino Apricus is designed to preserve the varietal qualities and expressive purity of the grape. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel vats with strict temperature control, an essential technique for maintaining the aromatic precision of the must. Afterwards, the wine undergoes maturation in steel for about six months, a choice that excludes wood ageing to protect the fruit's brilliance and the savoury component. This methodical process allows for a defined citrus profile, ensuring impeccable balance and a smoothness that makes tasting extremely enjoyable.
