Rolle wine — known as Vermentino in Italy — is grown along the Mediterranean arc from Provence to Sardinia and Corsica, producing crisp, aromatic whites with citrus and herb character. The independent producers below grow it in some of the warmest vineyard sites in Europe.

Rolle is the same grape as Vermentino — the name shifts at the border between France and Italy, but the vine is identical. It suits the Mediterranean coast well because it ripens late and holds onto its natural acidity even in high summer heat, which is unusual for a warm-climate white. The result is a dry white that stays lively rather than flat. On Free Grape Society, each bottle is shipped directly from the grower's own cellar, with no importer or warehouse in between.

A wine case here is a producer's own selection of six bottles, composed as the recommendation they would make if you visited their cellar. For a grape like Rolle, that often means tasting the same variety across different terroirs — coastal limestone, granite, schist — where the salt air and soil shift the wine's character noticeably from one estate to the next. Free Grape Society is a society of producers, independent experts and wine lovers, not a shop.
The growers below work with Rolle across its main growing regions — Provence, Corsica, Sardinia, Liguria — each in a different landscape and climate pocket. Reading a producer's own notes is often the quickest way to understand why their wines taste the way they do, and the wine-advice service is there if you would like a recommendation before choosing.
Rolle is a grape that rewards a second opinion, particularly because its style varies so much between a coastal Provençal estate and a high-altitude Sardinian vineyard. Independent wine experts review wines they have personally tasted, and their notes are visible on each wine page and on the expert's own profile. Several of the experts below have reviewed Rolle wines featured on this page.

Yes. You can add wines from different producers in one checkout. Each producer ships their own wines separately, so you may receive more than one delivery. Shipping is free on every order regardless of how many producers are involved.
Average delivery is 8 to 9 days from order to door. The full range is 4 to 14 days depending on the producer's location and your delivery address. Wines ship directly from the producer's cellar, not from a central warehouse.
Rolle shifts quite a bit by region. Wines from Provence tend to be lighter and herbal, while Sardinian versions grown further inland are often fuller and more textured. Reading the producer's own notes is the quickest way in. If you are unsure, you can ask a wine expert through the advice service — no booking required, just fill in the form.
The number grows as new producers join. All producers on the platform have gone through a tasting process before listing — wines are tasted before listing, not after. You can filter by region or style to narrow the selection, or browse the wineries section to read about each producer before deciding.
Several independent wine experts on Free Grape Society have tasted and reviewed Rolle wines. You can browse their profiles in the experts section above. To get a personal recommendation, fill in the wine-advice form — an expert who knows the grape will get back to you directly.
Free Grape Society works with independent producers who grow, make, and bottle their own wines. Supermarket-label wines are typically blended and bottled by large negociants at scale, with little connection to a specific vineyard or winemaker. The producers here are the people who grew the grapes.
Rolle — particularly from smaller Provençal and Corsican estates — is rarely stocked in standard retail. Most importers focus on high-volume appellations, which means smaller coastal producers with limited production tend not to reach general distribution. Ordering directly is often the only way to access their wines.
Rolle is a white grape with deep roots in the western Mediterranean. In France it is grown primarily in Provence, where it is often blended with Grenache Blanc and Clairette to make the region's dry rosés and whites, and in the Languedoc-Roussillon, where it appears in both still and sparkling wines. In Italy, where the same variety is known as Vermentino, it runs along the Ligurian coast and across to Sardinia, producing wines that shift noticeably between the two: Ligurian Vermentino tends toward lighter body and higher acidity, while Sardinian versions are often fuller, more aromatic, and carry a faintly bitter almond note on the finish. The grape is well adapted to heat and drought, which makes it a reliable choice across the drier parts of southern Europe, and its natural acidity holds up well even in warm growing seasons. You can explore the producers working with it across France, Italy, and Spain, or go directly to the Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence pages to narrow by region.
Rolle produces dry white wines that are aromatic without being heavy. Common characteristics include notes of white peach, citrus peel, fennel, and a faint saline quality that is particularly pronounced in coastal-grown examples — a quality sometimes attributed to sea air, though it is more likely a combination of minerally soils and warm, wind-dried fruit. Tannin is negligible and acidity is moderate to lively, which keeps the wines fresh despite the warm climates where the grape grows. At the table it is versatile: the citrus edge works well with grilled fish and seafood, the aromatic weight handles dishes with olive oil, herbs, and garlic cleanly, and the saline note makes it one of the more reliable white wine matches for oysters and briny shellfish. In southern France it often appears as a blending component in rosé, softening more angular varieties and adding a roundness to the mid-palate. Producers working with it as a single variety tend to vinify it in stainless steel to preserve freshness, though some use older oak or concrete to add texture without imparting obvious wood flavour. For a broader look at aromatic whites from the same family of regions, the Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, and Vermentino pages are worth exploring alongside.
Most Rolle and Vermentino on the mainstream market comes through large négociants and co-operatives, which means the single-estate, independently bottled versions are harder to find in shops. On Free Grape Society, each wine comes directly from the producer who made it — shipped from their own cellar, with no importer or warehouse in between. That changes what is available: you get access to smaller domaines and family estates in Provence, the Languedoc, and along the Ligurian coast that do not have conventional retail distribution. Wines tasted before listing means the range reflects real quality rather than commercial volume. If you want a starting point, the Languedoc-Roussillon wineries and Liguria wineries pages list the producers currently on the platform from those regions, and the white wines from France and white wines from Italy pages let you filter by colour across the full range. Free Grape Society is a society of producers, independent experts and wine lovers — joining gives you access to the full catalogue and to wine experts who can help you choose between styles if you are not sure where to start.
