Some lees stirring adds to the deep yellow color and the tannic textural impression of this Vermentino, and the granitic soils of Gallura yield more richness of fruit character than typical for the variety in the rest of Sardinia. Bright peach character comes across in dry style, and stony mineral notes come through clearly. It is easy to see why this is Sardinia’s first (and to date only) DOCG wine category.
