The Vermentino grape is known in Provence as Rolle. However, it has become widely known in Italian vineyards as Vermentino. It is grown in Liguria and Tuscany, and is also a welcome guest in Tuscany. However, Sardinia remains its home. Approximately one in four planted vines is Vermentino.
In the vineyards of Saragat in Sardinia, the Vermentino grape thrives. Thanks to Sardinia's unique climate, it thrives here. Because Sardinia is an island, the sea is always nearby. This sea, especially during the hot summers, provides a refreshing breeze in the evenings, tempering the daytime heat. The result is a balanced grape with sufficient acidity and plenty of fruit. Hats off.
Expect a fresh explosion of vibrant aromas. Because fresh is the key word for Saragat Vermentino di Sardegna. This is because the full bunches of Vermentino are fermented in stainless steel vats, emphasizing both the freshness and the power of the grape. It creates a refreshing, almost green wine. Think Granny Smith. Fresh lychee. Dusty elderflower. A spicy note of rosemary tickles the nose. It pairs surprisingly well with a generous bowl of Fruit de Mer. This Italian wine is highly recommended.
