A refined white grape variety, combining freshness with aromatic expression
Rolle, better known as Vermentino, is gradually making its mark on the Rhône wine scene, particularly in the Mediterranean PGI wines and certain southern blends. A quintessentially sun-loving grape, it captivates with its ability to retain a lovely freshness despite intense heat.
Aromatically, Rolle develops notes of white flowers, citrus, pear and white-fleshed fruits, sometimes accompanied by hints of salt and aniseed. On the palate, it offers tension, body and a lovely mineral finish.
In the Rhône Valley, it complements grape varieties such as Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Clairette perfectly, bringing balance and precision to blends. Its natural resistance to hot climates and its adaptability make it a strategic asset in the evolution of Mediterranean viticulture.
A modern, fresh and distinctive grape variety, perfectly aligned with current consumer expectations.
