TASTING NOTES
The Toscana IGT Obizzo Vermentino 2024 by Donna Olimpia 1898 is a white wine that embodies the essence of the Tuscan Coast, a region renowned for its viticultural vocation and favourable climate for Vermentino cultivation. This grape variety, typical of the area, is distinguished by its ability to express freshness and complexity, characteristics that are fully reflected in this wine. The Obizzo Vermentino presents a brilliant straw-yellow hue with subtle greenish reflections, hinting at its vibrancy. On the nose, it opens with an intense and fresh bouquet dominated by citrus notes such as lemon and grapefruit, complemented by delicate floral nuances and a hint of aromatic herbs typical of the Tuscan terroir. On the palate, the wine reveals a balanced and harmonious structure, with a pronounced acidity that enhances its freshness and a minerality reminiscent of the sea, a distinctive element of the Tuscan Coast. The finish is persistent, with a citrusy return that invites another sip. The 2024 vintage was marked by favourable weather conditions, with warm summers tempered by sea breezes, allowing the grapes to mature slowly while maintaining excellent acidity and aromatic concentration. The harvest took place in September, when the grapes were fully ripe. The selected grapes were then transported to the winery for vinification. After pressing, the must was statically decanted at a temperature of 10°C and fermented with selected yeasts at 18-20°C. Once the alcoholic fermentation was complete and the racking was carried out, the wine was left to mature for five months in stainless steel tanks before bottling. This results in an exceptionally elegant and refined wine, perfect for pairing with fish dishes, salads, or fresh cheeses.
ORIGIN OF THE NAME
Obizzo was a blond character in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy.

Of ancient and noble origins, the Donna Olimpia 1898 estate was baptized in the same year in honor of Olimpia Alliata, Lady of Biserno and wife of Gherardo della Gherardesca on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of their wedding. Located in the heart of Bolgheri , in the province of Livorno, spread over 60 hectares, 45 of which are new vineyards planted following a study on clones and rootstocks. The vines planted are obviously those whose vocation has been widely demonstrated: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah and Petit Verdot; for white wines, on the other hand, Vermentino, Viognier and Petit Manseng. Gifts of a unique territory, Donna Olimpia 1898's wines are characterized by their minerality, harmonic structure and intrinsic elegance. The estate boasts a modern cellar of 5000 square meters, designed to maximize energy savings and minimize environmental impact. It is equipped with the best available production technology, but still the aging in wood takes place in French oak barriques, so traditional. The barrel room is certainly the most important and evocative environment of the entire wine estate.
