Papeo – A Refined Vermentino Wine from Bolgheri by Terre del Marchesato
Papeo – Bolgheri Bianco DOC, Terre del Marchesato
A taste of the Tuscan coast, Papeo is an elegant Vermentino wine from Terre del Marchesato, crafted from hand-picked grapes and a precise vinification process that defines the style of Bolgheri DOC wines.
A short skin maceration in new barriques, followed by steel fermentation and six months on fine lees with bâtonnage, gives this white wine remarkable structure and depth.
Brilliant straw yellow with golden hues, the nose opens with jasmine, medlar, apple, barley candy, and honey, with a subtle hint of cloves. On the palate, it’s warm and savory, well-balanced by fresh acidity and long aromatic persistence.
Ideal with seafood, white meats, fresh cheeses, or more creative pairings like carbonara or Ligurian rabbit. Papeo is a Bolgheri Vermentino for those who appreciate complexity, balance, and a true Mediterranean soul.
