Timo Vermintino, Salento IGP

 

A wine that even in its name expresses the essence of the Macchia Mediterranea that grows on the sand dunes of Puglia’s coasts. Single-varietal Vermentino wine, it combines a delicate bouquet of white flowers with a distinct salty note. It is fresh and perfectly paired with seafood.
