Two Vermentino from Maremma

Driving from Montalcino towards Pitigliano in southern Tuscany one passes by the town of Montemassi. It is situated on top of a hill and is dominated by old Rocca (castle) looming over the village. Here they produce a wine called Calasole from 2014 made of vermentino. It is a fresh good wine with a taste of citrus and some almonds. The 2013 vintage were good and so is the 2014.

Close to Pitigliano producer Tommassi ha an estate called Poggio al Tufo where the wine where they produce a white wine made from Vermentino grapes. It is a decent wine with notes of pear and citrus, bur for me it is lacking a bit in taste.

The town is Pitigliano is quite interesting especially from the outside. Worth a short visit.
