2023 La Fralluca 'Elice' Vermentino

Place: Suvereto - Tuscany, Italy 

Variety: Vermentino

Farming: Organic

La Fralluca is the small organic estate of Luca Recine and Francesca Della Giovampaola, perched among the hills of Suvereto on Tuscany’s Mediterranean coast. Surrounded by woodland and cooled by constant coastal breezes, their vineyards produce wines defined by natural freshness, salinity and a distinctly Mediterranean character.

Elice is the estate’s flagship Vermentino, sourced from a tiny south-facing parcel known as La Punta, planted on steep limestone-rich soils overlooking the Tuscan coast. Lemon blossom, grapefruit and ripe stone fruit are layered with wild herbs, sea spray and crushed rock. The palate has impressive depth and texture, balanced by vibrant acidity and a powerful saline mineral thread. Complex, elegant and built to age, it’s a striking expression of coastal Vermentino.
