La Pettegola Vermentino Toscana IGT

La Pettegola’s translation take on a double meaning. The first representing the name of the coastal sea birds and the second meaning, the gossiper. Think of the sweet little old ladies in the square chatting about the goings-on of town.

Once you taste it, everyone will be talking about La Pettegola.

Fresh lemongrass, stones and apple pith on the nose. This is pristine, fresh and sleek on the palate with subtle white fruit and citrus notes before a zesty, pure finish. Fresh acidity throughout.
