Frescobaldi
The Marchesi de' Frescobaldi is one of Italy's oldest wineries with a history dating to the 1300s. The family has included medieval knights bankers lawyers and patrons of the arts. The Marchesi de' Frescobaldi is one of the most significant wine producers in Italy with nine estates—and roughly 2 500 acres—in Tuscany. The family has been growing wine since the late 19th century when they became the first in Tuscany to import and plant French vine cuttings. Because they have been producing wines for more than 700 years to experience Frescobaldi is to glimpse the history of Florence from the Middle Ages to the present day. Wine Spectator has ranked many of their offerings in the 90s and their wines are consistently listed in the magazine's Top 100 Wines of the Year encouraging wine enthusiasts from around the globe to become familiar with some of Italy's finest wines.
Description
Vermentino Ammiraglia is a pale and bright golden yellow wine with topaz reflections. The nose opens with enveloping floral notes of jasmine and hawthorn and is made fresh by pleasant hints of citrus; the bouquet is completed by notes of pear, honey, linden and almond. In the mouth it is fresh and sapid, supported by a solid body. The finish is dominated by fruity notes.
Food Pairing
Massovivo is the ideal accompaniment to fish and shellfish, timbales, and vegetarian first courses.
