Nittardi Ben Vermentino 2023

BEN stands for the Italian first name Beniamino, often given to the youngest and most beloved son. This is exactly the case with BEN from Nittardi. BEN is made 100% from Vermentino, an indigenous Tuscan grape variety, today well known along the whole Mediterranean coast. BEN Vermentino grows in our Maremma property called Mongibello delle Mandorlaie between Scansano and Magliano, only 8 km away from the sea at an altitude of 250m.

A vibrant, intense yellow hue accented by golden undertones sets the stage. Delicately fragrant, unveiling a bouquet of floral notes intertwined with the luscious aromas of peach, honeydew melon, and exotic fruits. The palate is greeted with a rich, creamy texture, complemented by a harmonious interplay of citrus zest and a refreshing saline breeze. These nuances extend gracefully, bestowing the wine with an elegant length and a pronounced mineral

character, evoking the essence of its coastal terroir.

Was rated best Vermentino from Tuscany by the famous wine writer James Suckling. Was rated best white wine from Tuscany by the famous wine critic Jancis Robinson.
