Wine FAQs

What Is Vermentino?

Vermentino is a highly versatile light-skinned grape that produces zesty white wines.

Vermentino grapes are grown mainly in Italy’s southern coastal areas of Sardinia and Liguria, along with the French island of Corsica. Planting vines close to the sea adds a hint of saltiness, along with the grapes’ high acidity and fresh citrus notes, creating refreshing wines perfect for sipping on a summer’s evening or over lunch at any time of the year.

Vermentino wine is characterized by its light body, high acidity, and citrusy flavor, and the grape is often used to make blends—helping add freshness and lightness to a wine. Vermentino is a reasonably versatile grape, as it can be made into various styles depending on the winemaker’s preference. For example, some Vermentino wines may be aged in oak barrels for extra complexity, while others are kept in stainless steel to preserve the wine’s naturally fresh, fruit-forward character.

Overall, Vermentino wines are known for being refreshing, easy-drinking, and food-friendly. Start your next wine adventure with our selection of exclusive Vermentino wines for you to discover.

Where Is Vermentino Grown?

Vermentino is a white wine grape that is grown in several regions around the world. The grape is thought to have originated in the Tuscany region of Italy, and it’s still widely grown there today. However, Vermentino is grown mainly in Sardinia, Corsica, and along the French and Italian Mediterranean coastal areas of Languedoc-Roussillon, Provence, and Liguria.

The grapes thrive in a hot, dry maritime climate, and the accompanying sea breezes help to keep its flavors fresh and acidity vibrant.

In recent years, the grape has been gaining popularity in the New World, with plantings in Australia, California, and Washington state.    

What Is Vermentino’s Style and Character?

Vermentino is a dry, light-bodied white wine with crisp acidity and a pronounced minerality. Its distinctly oily character contains low tannins and medium levels of alcohol.

Whether you are looking for a light and refreshing wine or something a bit more complex, Vermentino is a grape that is worth seeking out.

And if you’re a fan of Sauvignon Blanc, then try Vermentino wine for a delicious alternative.

What Does Vermentino Taste Like?

Most Vermentino wines typically contain a mixture of citrus and orchard fruit notes, including:

  • Green apple
  • Lime
  • Lemon
  • Pear
  • Satsuma 

Vermentino has a distinct mineral edge and a slightly complex finish with bitter notes like apricot and almond.

Vermentino can also be fermented in oak barrels, which impart traditional baking spice aromas of:

  • Vanilla
  • Butter
  • Ginger
  • Smokey notes

How to Pick a Good Vermentino?

For those who love the crisp and mineral flavors of Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, and unoaked Chardonnay, you will likely welcome Vermentino’s salinity and zesty taste.

If you’re looking to pair your wine with seafood and want the extra notes of rock salt and sea breeze, choose a bottle produced on the Mediterranean islands or coastline.

If you prefer rich and creamy white wines, opt for a Vermentino that has been through malolactic fermentation. This process converts harsh malic acid to softer lactic acid, which results in a smoother, more opulent wine.

What Food to Pair With Vermentino?

Vermentino’s saltiness works wonderfully well with fish and seafood—from swordfish and octopus to tasty linguine with clams.

Medium-weight meat and pasta dishes with herbs like garlic, oregano, and thyme also complement the delicate bitterness of the wine.

Soft and creamy cheeses, such as Ricotta, Mozzarella, and Feta are excellent pairings for this crisp white wine.

How to Serve Vermentino?

Vermentino wines are best enjoyed while young and fresh. It’s ideally served chilled in a traditional wine glass at around 44° F.

When serving Vermentino, it’s essential to let the wine breathe for a few minutes before drinking. This allows the full flavors of the wine to develop before you enjoy it.
