Why this wine
Vermentino on Sardinia grows within reach of the sea, and the wines carry an unmistakable salinity. Crisp, bitter-edged and made for shellfish. The definitive Italian beach white.
Our advantages:
Description
How it tastes
Tropical fruit with Mediterranean herbs, the savoury, salty character Sardinia gives, and a mineral finish. Cool pre-fermentation maceration at 10°C for 24 hours.
The producer
Sella & Mosca began when two Piedmontese — an engineer and a lawyer — came to Sardinia over a century ago and saw what the uncultivated land could do. The Alghero vineyard splits into four distinct areas by exposure, wind and soil.
Food and drinking
Good with seafood, salads and poultry & pork. Ready now, and will hold for a few years yet. Serve at 8–10°C.
