The Vermentino "Albablu" from Campo alle Comete originates in Bolgheri, Tuscany, from the project of the Feudi di San Gregorio winery to export their working philosophy and experience outside the Campania region to create products that are deeply in tune with the tradition and history of the place, bearing the signature of the Capaldo Family. The vineyards are located in Castagneto Carducci, a wonderful area always suited for the production of wines of sublime quality.
The grapes of the Vermentino "Albablu" from Campo alle Comete are cultivated in vineyards near the Tyrrhenian Sea, surrounded by the beautiful Tuscan hills in an amphitheater shape to create an inimitable landscape. The climate is characterized by particularly cold winters due to winds coming from the sea, and in summer the high temperatures are mitigated by the marine influence, making them not excessively high and sultry. The sun exposure is excellent and ensures optimal ripening of the grapes. Once the harvest is completed, alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel and there is a brief pause on the fine lees. It ages for a few months in steel and two months in the bottle.
The color of the Vermentino "Albablu" from Campo alle Comete presents itself to the eye as a light yellow almost tending towards white paper with reflections tending towards pale green. The aromas recall grapefruit, white flowers and mineral hints on the finish; on the palate it is balanced, aromatic with a pronounced sapidity and minerality on the finish. It pairs perfectly with fish and shellfish appetizers, as well as risottos seasoned with seafood; interesting also with grilled fish, sushi and sashimi, but also with white meats. An excellent product to enjoy during summer barbecues by the sea at sunset to savor all the authentic flavors of the Tuscan land.
