Vermentino di Sardegna doc
This vibrant white wine showcases Sardinia’s unique terroir. Perfectly suited to accompany seafood dishes or to enjoy on its own, Vermentino from Sardinia captures the essence of Mediterranean sunshine in every sip. Vermentino has been called the white prince of Sardinia. The wine is characterised by its intense and aromatic aroma and complex taste. The grapes are always harvested in September, so that they have a concentrated taste, but also provide some more alcohol in the wine. The trick is to make a wine that has enough freshness. The Is Tellas Vermentino is full, intense, but also beautifully fresh.
| Colour: | Light straw yellow |
| Bouquet: | The wine has a very nice and intense fragrance; you immediately imagine yourself on the Italian coast, with aromas of orange blossom, grapefruit, lemon, sage and capers. |
| Palate: | On the palate the perfect blend of fruit, lively acidity and a subtle hint of sea salt, complete with a long, complex finish. Extraordinary aperitif, but also delicious with dinner. Think of fish (starters) dishes and dishes with shellfish. |
Is Tellas
The name Is Tellas comes from the large characteristic stones that make the terroir of Sardinia so calcareous. This soil ensures a unique quality grapes, from a great coastal winery.
Sardegna
Sardinia, is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. The island, known as Sardegna to its Italian-speaking inhabitants, has belonged to various empires and kingdoms over the centuries. This is reflected in its unique portfolio of wine grapes.
The varieties planted in Sardinian vineyards, are mostly varieties of French and Spanish origin, exemplified by Grenache (called Cannonau here), Carignan (Carignano), Cabernet Sauvignon and Bobal.
The most "Italian" varieties here are Malvasia and Vermentino, but even Vermentino can only just be considered Italian, being more widely planted on Corsica and southern France – often under the name Rolle – than in its homeland. Aside from the better-known grape varieties mentioned above, the island makes use of several obscure and fairly exclusive varieties, including Torbato, Semidano, Niederra, Nuragus, Monica and Nasco. The latter three are showcased in their own variety-specific DOCs, all from Cagliari.
