📜 Vermentino di Sardegna
A fresh white wine from Vermentino from all over Sardinia.
Vermentino di Sardegna is a fresh white wine from Vermentino, made all over the island of Sardinia in Italy. The grape likes a warm, sunny climate and sea wind. It grows well on the island's various soils and gives a wine of recognisable character.
The wine is dry, light and aromatic, with notes of citrus, green herbs and white flowers and a slight almond bitterness at the end. The acidity is refreshing, so it goes with fish and seafood, of which the island has plenty. It is served well chilled.
The name is protected as a PDO, a protected designation of origin. By the rules, besides ordinary still wines, sparkling ones may also be made under this name. The name covers the whole island, which distinguishes it from the narrower zone in the north of the island, where wine from Vermentino is regarded as more serious.
Vermentino di Sardegna shows how one grape adapts to an island and becomes its calling card. It grows also in Liguria and other regions.
