Tenuta Ammiraglia
Massovivo Vermentino 2024
Toscana IGT
Massovivo Vermentino captures the coastal soul of Tenuta Ammiraglia. Named after the “living rocks” scattered through the Maremma hills, this wine is vibrant and mineral-driven, shaped by sea breezes and sun. Aromas of pineapple, mango, and citrus are layered with wild herbs, broom, and a salty lift. On the palate, it’s round yet refreshing, with a seamless balance between fruit and freshness. Fermented and aged in stainless steel on fine lees, Massovivo is a sleek, expressive Vermentino with unmistakable Mediterranean character.

VINEYARD
Massovivo takes its name directly from the land it grows on — the Tenuta Ammiraglia estate in the Maremma is defined by massive yellow rock formations called massi vivi, or "living rocks," that surface throughout the property. Situated on hillside vineyards skimming the Tyrrhenian coast, the estate benefits from abundant sunshine tempered by consistent sea breezes, conditions particularly well suited to Vermentino and reflected in the wine's signature mineral character.
WINEMAKING
After a gentle press and cold settle, this refined wine ferments and ages in stainless steel tanks.
VINTAGE
The 2024 Tuscan growing season was largely favorable, starting with a mild winter and spring, followed by a hot, dry summer. Heavy rains in May and June replenished water reserves, helping vines endure the summer heat. August rains arrived at the right time, balancing sugars and acidity for optimal ripening. The harvest was demanding but rewarding, with good yields and excellent grape quality. This vintage marks a recovery from the lighter 2023 vintage.
TASTING NOTE
A delicate floral profile of jasmine characterizes this wine’s nose, and its palate shows savory notes of thyme, bergamot and sage with a sea-breeze saltiness.

Reviews

James Suckling - May 26, 2025 "A restrained, fairly neutral wine with white pepper, lemon leaf and sage aromas. Vibrant, almost electric on the palate, with a textured medium body, peach and leaf flavors and a tight finish."

Wine Enthusiast - September 1, 2026 "The wine starts with briny citrus and flares of squeaky wet rock minerality. The palate is gentle with faint tones of lemon, orange blossom, and citrus zest. The finish feels well reserved with crushed sea-shell sensations that like to linger."
