Conte Guicciardini, Via Fezzana 45 /49 – Montespertoli (FI)
Some associate this grape variety with the Sardinian coast. Those, on the other hand, who inevitably associate the word Vermentino with the Ligurian coast (and its cheese focaccia). Those who, finally, when they read Vermentino immediately think of the Tuscan coast, its pine forests that reach all the way to the beach and the warmth of its long Mediterranean summers. These are among the correct interpretations, whose common denominator is undoubtedly its proximity to the sea. Vermentino, here in an interpretation by Conti Guicciardini, Maremma Toscana IGT, is in fact a grape variety typical of the entire Mediterranean area, and in Maremma, as in Liguria and Sardinia, it finds its ideal habitat. The sea breeze that caresses the Mandorlaia vineyards in fact enhances its characteristics. Careful vinification, involving cryomaceration and fermentation at a controlled temperature, contributes to enhancing the rich aromatic heritage of the original grapes. Pale straw yellow in colour with golden highlights, the nose reveals intense and persistent aromas of flowers and wild fruits. On the palate it is characterised by its pleasant, lively and fresh acidity, harmonious flavour and intriguing finish of exotic fruits. Ideal for aperitifs and fish dishes.
The Guicciardini, one of the oldest Florentine families, had a prominent position in the political, social and economic life of Florence since 1200. Their history is inextricably linked to that of the Castello di Poppiano, a medieval building erected around the year 1000 as a fortress to defend Florence from the outside. An act of inheritance from 1199 confirms that it has belonged to the Guicciardini family for at least nine centuries. Today, the castle is one of the most important realities of the 'Chianti Colli Fiorentini' DOCG. The good soils, locally called 'alberese', clayey but rich in skeleton and well drained, are the precondition for obtaining fine wines. The vinification cellar is adjacent to the castle, while the maturation cellar, in oak barrels and barriques, is located in the basement, where the optimum temperature is maintained naturally. Since 2015, Castello di Poppiano has also been joined by another estate, Belvedere-Campòli, in Chianti Classico. Then there is Massi di Mandorlaia, located in Maremma, in this case within the MoreIlino di Scansano appellation.
