Tasting Notes & Pairing Ideas
- Bright yellow color. Intense nose with the fruity (peach), floral (wildflowers), and mineral notes (flint) typical of the local Vermentino. Excellent freshness and acidic structure. Pleasant wine in its youth phase, acquires complexity and elegance in the bottle.
- Excellent as aperitivo and with every seafood recipe.
Winery Profile
- Historically, the Pascale family used the farm in Fosdinovo since 1992 for the supply of extra virgin olive oil for self-sustenance, both relatives and friends. Subsequently, Francesca, the daughter of the head of the Gerardo family, launches the idea of expanding the production by embracing the world of wine.
- The beauty of the hills of Fosdinovo, the call of nature, is therefore combined with the desire to enhance the land below the olive grove and give impulse to the nascent local agriculture. The Pascale Francesca Farm stands out as organic right from the start: it does not afflict or even apply chemical “pushes” to the normal cycle of nature.
- In 2010 Vermentino was planted, followed by Vermentino Nero, Canaiolo and Merlot.
