Vintage Wine Name Belguardo V 2021 Vintage 2021 Wine Description Belguardo’s prestige white wine is built to age like an iconic red. Using two specially selected vermentino clones, intentional terrain on the estate and a multistage winemaking process involving amphorae, steel vats and strategic skin contact, Belguardo V acquires great complexity and ageing potential (12-15 years). Appellation Tuscany Varietal Composition 100% Vermentino Vineyard Details Estate plots on the hills between Grosseto and Montiano with S-SW exposure, next to the Tyrrhenian Sea; 70-180 m (230-426 ft) in elevation with rocky, medium textured Arenaria. Tasting notes A wine full of sun – sapid, flinty, complex, with a muscular structure which is pure pleasure to drink Pairing notes Enjoy with cheese and cured meats, grilled or roasted proteins, mushroom risotto and richly spiced dishes Alcohol % 13 Aging 50% on the skins for 6 months, mainly in amphora; 50% "sur lies" in stainless steel, with weekly "batonnage" Highest Score 94 Wine Enthusiast Highest Score Review Copy The palate remains simultaneously sour and lush, with melon and grapefruit flavors joining the fun, before a salty, nutty finish and a lightning bolt of acid provide a welcome contrast.

The estate’s hilly topography, diverse soils and proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea, provide ideal conditions for high quality viticulture that delivers complex, concentrated wines that are still elegant and fresh. The estate’s wines quickly gained global recognition for their quality and established the outstanding potential of the Maremma region.
