Castello di Volpaia
Vermentino Superiore Maremma Toscana DOC
Crafted by the renowned Mascheroni Stianti family of Castello di Volpaia, this wine brings Chianti Classico’s rigorous organic standards to the unique maritime soils of a prehistoric Tuscan lakebed. Its "Superiore" status is defined by an elevated aging process in French oak on integral lees, trading simple freshness for a structured profile designed for longevity. The result is a sophisticated coastal white that prioritizes architectural complexity over immediate, casual consumption.
