Rolle
Rolle, also known as Vermentino, is a distinctive white grape variety celebrated for its refreshing and invigorating character. With medium to high acidity, it offers a palate-cleansing, dry taste enriched with captivating aromas of citrus fruits, herbs, bay leaf, subtle almonds, and a touch of floral complexity. A unique mineral edge enhances its sophistication.
Best enjoyed in its youth, Rolle showcases a vibrant and lively character, emphasising its crisp acidity and vibrant fruit flavours. Known as Rolle in France and Malvoisie in Corsica, it has found a home in the hot, dry climates of Corsica, Sardinia, and the coastal regions of France and Italy. Its adaptability to diverse terroirs, from Languedoc-Roussillon to Provence, Liguria, and Tuscany, contributes to its versatile appeal.
Winemakers often opt for stainless steel fermentation, with some allowing light oak contact. Unoaked versions are favoured to highlight Rolle’s unadulterated purity. In summary, Rolle stands out as a grape variety promising a delightful and versatile white wine experience, earning its place among esteemed Mediterranean wines.
