Mazzei Belguardo Vermentino Toscana 2021

Mazzei is an iconic name in Italian wine, boasting a winemaking legacy that stretches back an astounding 26 generations and over 600 years, centered primarily in Tuscany. Their history began in 1435, making them one of Italy’s oldest and most historically significant wine families.

While most famously associated with their Chianti Classico estate, the Mazzei family has expanded its vision, acquiring properties in other promising Italian regions. Their philosophy consistently revolves around expressing the unique terroir of each vineyard, combining centuries of accumulated knowledge with a forward-thinking approach to viticulture and winemaking, always with an eye toward quality and authenticity.

One exciting expression of Mazzei’s diverse portfolio comes from Fattoria di Belguardo, their estate in the Maremma Toscana, a coastal region known for its strong Mediterranean influence. It is here that their Belguardo Vermentino truly shines. This wine is a testament to the Maremma’s ideal conditions for white grapes, specifically Vermentino, which thrives in the sun-drenched, mineral-rich soils near the Tyrrhenian Sea.
