Lungarotti 'il Pometo' Vermentino

Lungarotti 'Il Pometo' Vermentino - Umbria IGT, Italy

Fresh, vibrant and unmistakably Mediterranean, Il Pometo Vermentino is an expressive white that combines aromatic charm with lively mineral freshness. Fragrant notes of white peach, citrus blossom and green apple mingle with hints of lemon zest, wild herbs and a subtle touch of Mediterranean scrub. The palate is crisp and energetic, balancing ripe orchard fruit with bright acidity and a refreshing saline finish that makes every sip inviting and wonderfully food-friendly. 

Although Vermentino is most closely associated with Italy's coastal regions, Lungarotti recognised its potential in Umbria's warming climate and began planting the variety in 2004, finding it retained excellent natural acidity even during hot summers. The grapes are grown on medium-textured soils rich in clay, then gently pressed using only free-run juice before cool fermentation in stainless steel. The wine remains on its fine lees until bottling, enhancing texture while preserving the purity and freshness that define the style. The Il Pometo range reflects Lungarotti's long-standing commitment to producing approachable wines that remain true to their Umbrian origins.
