“ Con Vento is made of Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier. It is an aromatic, full-bodied white with a rich, viscous mouthfeel. With floral, wild herb, grapefruit and fresh apricot aromas and flavours on the palate, this white is well-suited to fish and chicken dishes."
Winemaker

MEDIUM - BODIED 
90 Points

"The 2011 is a medium golden color and seems to take it's hue from the wheat fields surrounding the vineyards. The aromas are precise and powerful. Lemons, wet stones, flinty minerals and grapefruit mingle nicely. In the mouth, the wine has more body than one might expect and added complexity from the lees aging. Tropical fruits join lemon and white peaches and the flinty mineral streak from the nose runs throughout the midpalate. Finishing crisp, clean and lemony, this may be one of the best whites from Italy I've ever had. It was dynamite with grilled swordfish with a cool relish."
Tuscan Vines- Passionately Pursuing Italian Wine & Food

When wine enthusiasts begin thinking of the Bolgheri region of Tuscany, much of the discussion centers around the grand estate of Tenuta San Guido, birthplace of Sassicaia, one of Italy's most famous wines. Yet tucked away amidst the rolling hills, Mediterranean forests and pastures is the Estate of Castello del Terriccio. Kissed by the tranquil sea breezes, Terriccio enjoys exceptional terroir and produces exceptional wines which stand among the finest from Bolgheri.

Con Vento means "With the Wind" in Italian and is a direct nod to the gently rolling wheat fields that sway in the maritime breezes. This has been depicted on the wine's label, which features two golden lines "blowing" in the wind. Con Vento is made predominantly from Viognier but other various white grapes complete the blend. The wine spends 6 months on the lees and is completely fermented in stainless steel before being bottled.

An exception coastal Italian white wine that will blow you away!
