Vermentino di Sardegna D.O.C. “Aragosta”
Availability: In Stock
Description
Vermentino di Sardegna DOC, originating from the western coast of Sardinia in the area surrounding Alghero, embodies the spirit of the island – sunlit, maritime, and pure.
The Alghero region, overlooking the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean and cooled by the gentle Maestrale wind, enjoys an ideal climate for cultivating Vermentino – the island’s most iconic white grape variety.
Here, on limestone-alluvial soils, the vineyards give rise to a wine in which the sea is reflected – fresh, delicately salty, and marked by a distinctive minerality that captures the strength and beauty of its terroir.
