ABOUT THIS WINE
The Tenuta Le Colonne Vermentino 2023 is an organic white wine from the Costa Toscana IGT in Tuscany, Italy. Produced by Tenuta Le Colonne, it is a 100% Vermentino varietal. The estate is located in Donoratico, an area known for its sunny climate and proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea, and emphasizes terroir-driven wines with organic and sustainable practices. The vineyards are situated at 15 meters above sea level with west-facing exposure, on soils composed of fluvial sedimentations with a sandy texture, which sometimes contain fossils. This coastal location is a key factor in the wine's character.
