Cala Civetta - Vermentino Di Toscana 2020
Cala Civetta Trebbiano Toscana IGT
Trebbiano is one of the most prolific and widely planted varietals in Italy, even in the DOC zones. It has been described by Jancis Robinson as the “crisp mouthwash” of Central Italy, and most of the time, it is about as memorable as a boy-band pop song. In this case, the Cantina at Morellino delivers something lovely, even special, with its Cala Civetta. Low-yields (about 1200g per plant), vine age (oldest planted in the 90’s), and unusual skill combine to offer an affordable, delicious wine that is zippy and floral, with notes of honeydew, sweet grass, and crushed salt.
WINEMAKER BIOGRAPHY
Located just inland from the Tuscan coastline, the Cantina del Morellino is a true co-op that distributes profits to its 170 participating families. The average land holding is tiny - just 3 hectares - and sustainable farming remains the undying mantra.
TASTING NOTES
Color: Straw yellow with green highlights
Nose: Crisp pear, Tuscan wildflowers, and a hint of salt Palate Medium-bodied,with lively acidity and ripefruit
Finish: Clean and dry, with a hint of almond skin
