Italy

Also known as: Favorita

Vermentino is a white wine grape primarily grown in Sardinia and other Mediterranean regions of Italy. It produces crisp, refreshing white wines known for their bright acidity and mineral character, making it a staple of Italian coastal wine regions. In Piedmont the same grape appears as Favorita, where it produces light, dry whites in the Langhe and Roero.

Flavors & Aromas

Citrus, green apple, white peach, herbs, and saline minerality with tropical fruit notes in riper examples

Winemaking & Aging

Light to medium-bodied with high acidity and excellent food-pairing versatility. Best consumed young and fresh, typically within 2-3 years of vintage, though quality examples can age slightly longer. Performs well in warm, coastal climates and benefits from cool fermentation temperatures to preserve aromatic qualities.
