The Winery Dario Di Vaira

The Dario Di Vaira winery is a boutique wine estate located in the heart of Tuscany's renowned Bolgheri appellation, built on deep roots, family passion, and a bond with the land. The Di Vaira family’s history in Bolgheri goes back decades. Originally from Molise, Dario’s grandparents and parents arrived in the region during the 1950s as part of a long tradition of farmers and vine growers, working the Tuscan coastal land through great sacrifice. In 2008, after earning a degree in viticulture and enology, Dario Di Vaira inherited the estate from his father, Pasqualino. Armed with technical expertise and family tradition, he made a decisive turn, converting the farm into a modern boutique winery focused on the excellence of Bolgheri DOC wines

Characteristics Vermentino Bolgheri DOC Le Pinete

Grapes and Terroir: Produced primarily from 100% Vermentino grapes sourced from various estate plots in Castagneto Carducci utilizing sandy, loose soils to enhance minerality, and medium-textured soils to impart structure and fruity intensity. Vinification & Aging: Vinification typically takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve aromatic freshness, followed by brief aging (around 4 months) on the fine lees (sur lies) in concrete or steel tanks to add complexity and creaminess to the palate. Color: A luminous, bright straw yellow, enhanced by delicate golden or greenish reflections. Aroma: An intense bouquet combining hints of Mediterranean wildflowers and peach blossoms with white-fleshed fruit (such as peach and green apple) and subtle citrus undertones. Palate: Fresh, savory (sapid), and harmonious. It offers excellent structure balanced by a vibrant acidity, giving the wine great drinkability, clarity, and a long, distinctly persistent finish
