Giunco Vermentino di Sardegna DOC

The grapes come from Sulcis in south-western Sardinia, a sea-influenced vineyard site with sandy-silty as well as calcareous-clayey soils. The vines are trained using the Guyot system. Before gentle pressing, the grapes are cooled to 10 °C; a small proportion remains on the skins for 48 hours. Fermentation takes place under temperature control at 15–18 °C. The wine then matures for at least four months on the fine lees and for a further month in bottle. It displays citrus zest, white-fleshed and tropical fruit, Mediterranean balsamic notes and a hint of iodine. On the palate it is fresh, salty, light-footed and aromatically persistent.
