The organic Fattoria di Magliano 2021 Maremma Toscana Vermentino Pagliatura is lean and tonic in appearance with citrus, white peach and crushed stone. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and ages on the fine lees for three months. With time however, the bouquet reverts to slightly musky aromas of soapy potpourri or dried herb. Some 25,000 bottles were released.

The 2011 Vermentino della Maremma Toscana Pagliatura is gorgeous. This is one of the few 2011 Tuscan whites that has great freshness and verve. Pears, flowers, apples and mint are some of the nuances that caress the palate on the finish. This is a strong showing from Fattoria di Magliano. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2014. Fattoria di Magliano has long been one of my favorite estates in the southern part of Maremma, but I don’t think I have ever tasted such a complete and consistent set of wines here.

Juicy ripe pears, melon, flowers and smokiness are some of the nuances that flow from the 2009 Vermentino della Maremma Toscana Pagliatura. This is a fairly rich, textured style of Vermentino built on a core of expressive, generous fruit as opposed to the simpler, more fragrant versions that are typical of this grape. Accordingly, the Pagliatura is best paired with richer foods and should work nicely with dishes that contain spice and/or heat. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012.
