Description
What kind of wine is it
Belvento Vermentino Toscana by Petra is a dry white wine with Indicazione Geografica Tipica status, vinified in steel, which expresses the character of the Vermentino grape. In the glass, it displays a bright straw-yellow colour, opening with aromas of lavender, wisteria, lemon balm and thyme, followed by notes of grapefruit and peach. On the palate, it offers a fresh and savoury sip, supported by lively acidity. The fruity and persistent finish makes it ideal for shellfish and raw seafood.
Where does it come from
The grapes come from the Maremma, a coastal area of Tuscany characterised by a Mediterranean climate tempered by breezes from the Tyrrhenian Sea. The vines sink their roots into clay-sandy soils with a slight limestone content, a composition that gives the wine a distinct mineral imprint and a pleasant saline streak. Petra winery enhances this ecosystem, ensuring fruit rich in aromas and a marked freshness.
How is it produced
The process begins with a rigorous manual harvest of the bunches. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, an ideal choice to preserve the aromatic purity and natural flavour tension of the fruit. The process continues with four months of maturation in steel, completed by a final rest to best stabilise the wine's structural balance.
History and Curiosities
Born from the project of Francesca and Vittorio Moretti, this elegant wine captures the authentic essence of Maremma Toscana. Under the guidance of oenologist Giuseppe Caviola, the hand-picked grapes are vinified in steel to preserve the delicate Mediterranean aromas. The subsequent ageing process enhances the mineral freshness of the pure Vermentino, caressed by the breezes of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The “I Vini del Mare” Belvento range from the Petra winery offers a harmonious sip, celebrating with absolute genuineness an exceptional coastal terroir.
