Atzei
Saragat Vermentino 2020
Isola dei Nuraghi IGP
Vermentino is synonymous with Sardinian wine, and Atzei’s take on it shows how enjoyable the varietal can be. Blending coastal vineyards with higher elevation sites provides simultaneous refreshment and depth.
Vineyard
As the grapes are sourced from a number of vineyards across the area of Mogoro, the wine expresses a range of elevations, exposures, soil types, and micro-climates. Coastal vineyards provide acidity and a refreshing saline character, while further inland the wines show more ripeness and structure. Soils are composed mostly of sand and volcanic sediment.
Winemaking
After a short skin maceration, the vinification is conducted avoiding contact with oxygen to preserve. The fermentation is at controlled temperature and with use of selected yeasts. Batonnage in steel tanks for 40 days.
Tasting Note
Aromas of rosemary and elderberry flowers, white pulp fruit, yellow and lychee. The taste is soft at the start, then savory and lively, with good structure, with excellent alcoholic balance.
