Berioli, Vercanto Colli del Trasimeno 2018

Berioli Vercanto Colli del Trasimeno 2018 is an elegant Italian white wine crafted from the native Grechetto grape, offering a beautifully balanced expression of Umbria’s inland hills. This vintage combines lively freshness with subtle depth, making it as suitable for casual sipping as it is for refined dining. Drawn from the gentle slopes around Lake Trasimeno, it showcases a classic and authentic taste of central Italy.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Vercanto 2018 presents a luminous straw-yellow color with subtle green reflections, signaling its freshness and vibrancy. The nose is inviting and expressive, with aromas of ripe pear, white peach, lemon zest, and green apple, layered with hints of wild herbs, almond, and a gentle floral note reminiscent of chamomile and acacia. On the palate, this Grechetto is medium-bodied with a pleasantly textured mouthfeel and a focused, saline-driven finish. Flavors of stone fruit, citrus, and crisp orchard fruit are framed by lively acidity and a faint, savory nuttiness that adds complexity. The wine feels both refreshing and rounded, with a clean, persistent aftertaste. Enjoy it now for its bright fruit and energy, or over the next 3–5 years to let the more mineral and nutty tones develop further.

Production
Sourced from vineyards in the Colli del Trasimeno area of Umbria, Berioli Vercanto grows on gently rolling hills influenced by the microclimate of nearby Lake Trasimeno. The soils typically combine clay and limestone, providing both structure and minerality to the Grechetto grape. Grapes are harvested by hand to preserve optimal ripeness and fruit integrity, followed by careful sorting in the cellar. Fermentation usually takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to protect the variety’s delicate aromatics and freshness, with a period of aging on fine lees to enhance texture, complexity, and length without overshadowing the wine’s natural vibrancy.

Food & Serving
Berioli Vercanto 2018 is a versatile partner at the table, pairing beautifully with grilled or baked fish, seafood risotto, shellfish, and simple pasta dishes featuring olive oil, herbs, and seasonal vegetables. It also works well with mild to medium-aged cheeses, poultry, and antipasti such as bruschetta, marinated vegetables, and cured white meats. Serve at 8–10°C to highlight its freshness and aromatic detail. Decanting is not necessary, but opening the bottle 10–15 minutes before serving will allow the wine to open up gently in the glass.
