Two different Vermentino from Tuscany

It is fun to try different wines of the same grape from the same region to see the difference from different producers. This time I had one wine each from Bolgheri and Mazzei.

The Bolgheri Vermentino is called Solosole and is from 2014. For me it is definitely a foodwine. It has a strong taste of citrus and a strong acidity. It need food to make it shine like a sun.

The Mazzei Vermentino is called Codice V and is from 2014 also. This is more fruity with some citrus and pear in the taste. The acidity is there also. Goes also very well with food but also good on its own.

Verdeca wine from Puglia

Verdeca is an Italian indigenous grape to Italy. It is mostly grown in the region of Puglia i Italy. It is only in the last couple of years that Verdeca has been used to make monovarietal wines. I have tried the white wine Askos Verdeca from the producer Masseria Li Veli. Askos is the name that they have given to the selection of ancient Apulian grape wines. It is a good wine.The colour is bright yellow. The taste is very fruity and strong. Very good and interesting. Would buy it again if I have the chance.

I have also tried two more "normal" Italian white wines. One made by Pinot Grio by producer Tenuta Ca'Bolani. It is a good Pinot Griogio. The other is a Vermentino called Prelius from Maremma in Tuscany. It is very fresh and very good.
