BEN 2025 Vermentino – new to the range!

BEN stands for the Italian first name Beniamino, often given to the youngest and most beloved son. This is exactly what applies to BEN from Nittardi: since 2012, it has been our first Maremma white wine, which we had been dreaming of for a long time.

BEN is made from 100% Vermentino, a native Italian grape variety that has spread throughout the Mediterranean coast. BEN has found an ideal microclimate in the southern Maremma, not far from the Tyrrhenian coast, which gives it refreshing, delicate salty notes.

$18.66/L. VAT included. Contains sulfites.
