Terenzuola Vermentino Fossi di Corsano 2006 (Tuscany)


A crisp, elegant Vermentino from winemaker Ivan Giuliani, owner of Terenzuola, whose winery straddles the northwest corner of Tuscany and Liguria. Although they do not have an official designation, the winery utilizes low production/high density plantings that are managed organically. The wine has a full, fresh fruit nose with light, mineral notes on the palate. A delicious wine. For those who select wine because of the label ( I would never do that), the wine comes in a tall, slender Alsace-style bottle with a stark, high-style, black and white label. Very shprocket-like. "Touch my monkey."
