Tenuta Santa Lucia
2019 Vermentino Toscana IGT

Region:  Tuscany

Grapes: 100% Vermentino

Vinification and refinement
This wine is produced with Vermentino grapes grown in the low-yielding vineyard of the Tenuta Santa Lucia on coastal Tuscany, near Pisa and the Mediterranean coast. Vermentino is one of the few white grapes that perfectly acclimated to the Mediterranean Tuscany. It loves sea breezes and sunlight and in return provides opulent flavour and radiant freshness. At the arrival to the cellar, the healthy grapes are de-stemmed and softly crushed. By pressing, we obtain different fractions of juice, each of which is cooled to 8 degrees for 24 hours in order to favour the natural decantation. The clear must is then poured into stainless steel tanks where the alcoholic fermentation takes place at a temperature not exceeding 12°C. About a month after the fermentation, an accurate assessment of the different lots of wine obtained is made to assemble the selected ones to make the final blend.

An unexpected twist
This original and innovative solution "twist to open" is called HELIX™, a perfect combination between a special ergonomically designed cork and a glass bottle with an internal thread placed in the neck of the bottle that allows the manual opening, without effort, with a simple and easy rotation movement. Also, after opening, the bottle can be resealed in the same way, getting a perfect closing to preserve the organoleptic characteristics of the wine. The solution combines all the benefits of cork and glass – quality, sustainability and premium image – with user-friendly, re-sealable convenience.
We want to offer our clients a solution of uncorking to which they are accustomed, the screw cap, with the particularity of the realization in cork which refers to the tradition of Tuscan wine.
