Melacce Montecucco Vermentino DOC

Named after a small river on the slope of Monte Aquilaia, the Melacce shows exactly what the Maremma Toscana delivers at its best: freshness, minerality, and clear fruit without heaviness.

Colle Massari is located in the Montecucco DOC, one of the younger appellations of Tuscany south of Montalcino. The winery focuses on the native sites on the volcanic Monte Amiata — a soil that gives the Vermentino its characteristic salinity and drive.

In the glass, it glows light yellow with green reflections. On the nose, Granny Smith apple, white peach, and lime zest, underneath a hint of coriander seeds. On the palate, dry, taut, and permeated by fine minerality — not a flabby summer wine, but a precise, dry profile with real pressure in the finish.

• Food: Grilled calamari, vitello tonnato, goat cheese, or a simple bruschetta with tomatoes
