Artumes

Intense, crisp and fruity, Artumes is a fine Tuscan white wine from a grand estate with an impressively long history.

The Etruscans were the first to discover how good the wines from this part of Tuscany were. Then the Medici family favoured it for hunting and in 1596 built an impressive lodge, around which lie 70 hectares of vines – an estate called Tenuta di Artimino.

The property was bought by Guissepe Olmo in 1980, a world renowned athlete who in 1935 set an international record for cycling. He turned his passion for sport towards the land and today the family make wines from fine DOCG reds to innovative, rule-breaking IGTs like Artumes.

It’s made with native Trebbiano grapes and, unusually, a splash of Petit Manseng – a grape from southwest France – grown on limestone soils. The result is an intensely fresh white wine with delicate floral and herbal aromas, with juicy pear, tropical fruit and citrus flavours that make it the perfect partner to grilled fish dishes.
