Discovering Pelagico 2019: A Tuscan Treasure
In a picturesque corner of the southern coast of Tuscany, precisely in Castiglioncello in the province of Livorno, hides a wine gem we had the pleasure of discovering last week. We’re talking about Pelagico 2019, a wine that embodies the essence and passion of this fantastic region, just an hour and forty minutes from the bustling heart of Florence.
The winery, situated in an enviable location, overlooks the sea directly. This proximity to the water not only offers breathtaking views but also contributes to creating an ideal microclimate for growing the Petit Manseng grapes from which Pelagico originates.
The vineyards enjoy optimal sunlight exposure and are constantly caressed by a sea breeze that adds a distinctive character to the wine.
Visually, Pelagico presents itself in all its splendor, with golden reflections dancing in the glass and capturing the eye. But it’s on the nose that this wine truly begins to tell its story. A complex bouquet opens with notes of tropical fruit, followed by mint nuances and an undertone of aromatic herbs, immediately inviting tasting.
On the palate, Pelagico envelops with a warm and persistent sip, in a perfect balance between power and elegance. Freshness and minerality are the pillars on which the tasting experience is supported, making it an extremely pleasant and drinkable wine.
Versatility is another quality of this wine, which lends itself beautifully to different gastronomic pairings. Although it can be an excellent companion for an evening alone or in company, Pelagico shines particularly when paired with seafood dishes. Its structure and complexity make it the ideal companion for a fish cruditè, where the flavors of the sea blend with those of the wine in a perfect union.
For those seeking an even richer culinary experience, a lobster risotto can further enhance the qualities of this extraordinary wine, creating a harmony of flavors that will remain etched in memory.
In conclusion, Pelagico 2019 is not just a wine, but a sensory journey that leads straight to the heart of maritime Tuscany.
Its ability to encapsulate the unique characteristics of the territory makes it a true treasure to be discovered and appreciated, both for novices and experts in the wine world.
A glass of Pelagico is not simply a sip of wine, but a story to be savored, sip after sip!
