Vermentino Toscana

Vermentino Toscana 750ml is a distinguished white wine from the Tuscany region of Italy, produced by Cantine Leonardo da Vinci, a coalition of wineries with a mission to honor the history and exceptional quality of wine from each Italian territory. This wine draws inspiration from Leonardo's "Vitruvian Man" philosophy, clearly evident in its harmonious and balanced flavors.

The Vitruvian Man - An Endless Inspiration for the Leonardo Da Vinci Wine Range

Leonardo da Vinci's famous "Vitruvian Man" drawing is not only a masterpiece of anatomy but also embodies a profound philosophy of balance and harmony. The image of a man with outstretched limbs, inscribed within a circle and a square, symbolizes the perfect union between the divine and the earthly, the masculine and the feminine, the physical and the spiritual. This philosophy is also the inspiration behind the Leonardo Da Vinci wine collection. Just as the Vitruvian Man seeks balance in the universe, these wines are the result of a delicate harmony between opposing elements: tradition and modernity, science and art, man and nature. Leonardo da Vinci believed that excellent wine is one that preserves the natural flavors of the grapes and clearly expresses the fermentation process. Cantine Leonardo da Vinci, inheriting this spirit, has adopted farming and winemaking methods that respect nature, making the most of what nature provides. The result is balanced, harmonious wines that offer a refined tasting experience.
