Sella & Mosca “Monteoro” Vermentino di Gallura Superiore DOCG 2022

Sella & Mosca “Monteoro” Vermentino di Gallura Superiore DOCG 2022
Sardinia, Italy

The Gallura area and Vermentino, an inseparable pairing that reminds of a magical tale about the great whites. Sella & Mosca cultivates its grapes on the slopes of the south side of Mount Limbara, whose soils are characterized by broken-down granitic rubble and a hot climate, but with excellent temperature variations during the summer. In the cellar, the grapes are soft-pressed, cold-macerated lightly and then left to ferment for an extended period.

The resulting white wine is extraordinarily expressive, fresh and delicious. The bright straw yellow colour announces captivating aromas, as refined as they are pronounced. Rich in fruited notes, it smoothly progresses to hints of potherbs and berries, flowers and shrubs. In the mouth it begins smoothly but with considerable complexity, enlivened by a brilliant acidity that gives it depth and extension. The Mediterranean character is always present and marine notes underlie the taste.
