Name: Uvaggio
Variety: Vermentino (12.5% Alcohol)
Region: Lodi
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
My Review: This has a deeper yellow/green color than most white wines, almost the same color as California Chardonnays. It appears to be a more full bodied wine. I smell sweet pear, grass, and a hint of banana. This has both an acidic and sweet flavor. It tastes exactly as it smells and is very smooth. It also has a slight buttery, creamy flavor.
Winery Review: Indigenous to Sardinia and Liguria, Vermentino is becoming popular as the white grape to grow in the Maremma region of Tuscany. It produces an aromatic and flavorful wine, perfect as an apertivo or with a meal. Think of Vermentino as where Pinot Grigio meets Gruner Veltliner, having aromas and flavors of pear, lime, green melon, and cilantro-like mint. Our Vermentino will partner well with seafood, more delicate Southeast Asian cuisine like Thai or Vietnamese, chicken, pasta, or any Mediterranean dish calling for white wine.
I did not drink this with food
I would drink this again (8/10)
