Tenuta Dodici - La Madonna
Tenuta Dodici - La Madonna sits in Maremma, the coastal region of southern Tuscany where maritime influence and sandy soils create conditions for white wines of unusual depth. The winery's Vermentino Maremma Toscana captures the mineral precision and salinity the variety achieves in this terroir—a wine that Wine Advocate has rated highly. The Viognier Maremma Toscana, planted in the same region, shows the stone-fruit richness and texture that this Rhône variety develops under Tuscan sun. Both wines reflect Maremma's particular character: a place where white grapes thrive with clarity and structure rather than the oak-aged reds that dominate inland Tuscany. The winery's focus on these varieties underscores a commitment to the specific potential of its coastal location.
