Vermentino di Gallura, Bianco Rias, Tenuta Gregu, DOCG, Sardinia, Italy, 2022

For more than 90 years the Gregu family have been cultivating wine in the northeast of Sardinia. Their property extends over an area of about 50 hectares, in the countryside of Calangianus in Gallura which is a unique and uncontaminated vineyard at the base of Monte Limbera. Their land is made from granite decay that is combined with a particular microclimate of sea breezes making the habitat for the cultivation of vines ideal allowing for exceptional nuances and intense aromas from their wines. Gallura is the only DOCG area on the island of Vermentino demonstrating its superiority amongst other Vermentino in Italy. The Salunu Vermentino di Gallura Superiore DOCG is made with pure Vermentino grapes that are picked first light in the morning, still wet from the dew of the night. It is the finest expression of Vermentino in Sardinia.

Brilliant Light Colour, verging into shadows of green. Expressive nose showing floral notes, lemon, lime, thyme and jasmine. Elegant and persistant on the palate.
