Bolgheri Vermentino Teia

Teia, in Greek mythology, is the goddess of light, daughter of Uranus (the sky) and Gaia (the earth). The Bolgheri Vermentino Teia is a vivid demonstration of summer in the glass: after six months in concrete tanks with prolonged rest on the fermentation lees and three months of bottle aging, it is citrine, sunny, bearer of a rampant acidity perfect for the lightness and smiles of July sunsets.
