Vinicola Cherchi
Billia Vermentino 2021
Vermentino di Saregna DOC
The Billia line represents an approachable style of Cherchi’s famed indigenous grapes, crafted in stainless steel. This unfussy approach allows the varietal character of the wines to shine while providing a jubilant drinking experience. Billia refers to a marble or billiard ball and is the affectionate nickname for Cherchi’s founder.
Vineyard
Cherchi works over 30 hectares in the northwestern part of Sardinia, around the town of Usini. Their vineyards are on average 200m above sea level, with mixed calcareous and clay-based soils.
Winemaking
Destemmed and pressed into stainless steel, both for fermentation and several months of aging.
Tasting Note
Joyful and light, with an intensely floral nose and persistent mineral finish. Notes of freshly squeezed lemon and citrus oil.
