Vermentino di Gallura is Sardegna’s only DOCG at present, and its granite soils make for a very different expression than the sandier soils elsewhere on the island. Bright and tight on the nose, it is less floral and shows more fruit, emphasizing lemon. The palate texture is rich and full bodied, showing lemon, stony minerality and a subtle chalky grip. The finish has great length and intensity. You won’t often find a wine this good for this price!
