Tasting notes:

Born from a project aiming to showcase the noblest character of Vermentino - complexity, sapidity, minerality, and longevity - Belguardo V is the results of years of research while making its prototype Codice V. Aged in amphora and stainless still vessels. Aromas of lemon, lime and apple with floral and almond notes. Medium-full-bodied on the palate with a slightly honeyed texture well-balanced with a saline notes on the finish. Soft, breezy and fresh, this is the epitome of Vermentino.

Producer description:

Owned by the Mazzei family since the mid 1990s, the Belguardo estate is located in Maremma, Tuscany, on the hills between Grosseto and Montiano, about ten kilometres from the coast. Many years of research have allowed the Mazzeis to identify the most suited grape varieties to grow on this very special terroir. Overlooking the Tyrrenian sea, the vineyards benefit from its strong thermal currents, particularly during Spring and Summer, which balance their exposure to the sun. The wines made here have been widely acclaimed with Tenuta Belguardo, a classic Super-Tuscan, leading the way.

On the nose, aromas of almond paste, citrus blossom, lemon peel, saltwater taffy and new sneakers create a tangy earthiness and a marine salinity that contrast with a rich, dense fruit core. Tension continues on the palate, between a stonier salinity and flavors of lemon curd, peaches and more almonds. The overall structure of citrus and subtle tannins only barely allows the characteristic oily texture of Vermentino to slide through.

James Suckling | 93

Fresh and mineral-driven vermentino with white fruit, lemons and floral aromas. Really polished and sleek, with a medium body and clean acidity. Silky and textural yet crisp and nervy at the same time. Focused and poised. Drink now.
