The 2011 Vermentino is very pretty. Varietal melon, pear, mint and floral notes are given an extra touch of richness and depth in this caressing, inviting white. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2014.
Tenuta Belguardo is the Mazzei family’s winery in Maremma. These entry and mid-level priced wines are quite attractive. Unfortunately, the last few years haven’t been easy here. The estate decided against bottling their flagship Tenuta Belguardo in 2009.
