Description

From: Monti, Sassari, Sardinia, Italy
Varietal: Vermentino

Taste: In the glass, the 2022 ‘Nord Est’ shows a pale straw color with green reflections. Aromatically, it leads with notes of white peach, lemon zest, and Mediterranean herbs, followed by subtle hints of almond skin and crushed sea shell. On the palate, it is clean and focused, with crisp acidity driving flavors of grapefruit, green apple, and saline minerality. A fine, textural grip from short lees aging adds dimension, and the wine finishes dry, zippy, and refreshingly bitter with lingering notes of citrus peel and wet stone.



Pairing: Vermentino's acidity and slight phenolic grip make it well-suited to pair with dishes featuring freshness, herbal brightness, and briny elements. Start by pairing with seafood prepared—grilled prawns with lemon and olive oil, steamed mussels in white wine and herbs, or raw oysters with a mignonette.

About: Cantina del Vermentino is based in Monti, a village situated in the province of Sassari, northeastern Sardinia, Italy. Founded in 1956 by a collective of 22 winegrowers, the winery was among the first cooperatives to focus on producing high-quality wines from native Sardinian grape varieties, particularly Vermentino. Today, Cantina del Vermentino has grown into a prominent regional institution, with over 350 members cultivating roughly 500 hectares of vineyards across the Gallura subregion.
