Description

Vermentino is the white specialty of the Italian island of Sardinia. The friendly cooperative Cantina del Vermentino Monti is – as the name suggests – an expert in wines made from this grape and enjoys an excellent reputation for its beautiful Vermentino di Gallura.



While Isola's may bear the more modest Vermentino di Sardegna appellation, we were particularly impressed by the quality of this wine. The grapes are grown in the hilly northwestern part of the island. The vineyards, with their poor granite soils, lie at an altitude of 300 to 400 meters and are cooler than most vineyards further south. These are perfect conditions for producing wines with freshness and terroir expression.

After the harvest, a classic vinification process for white wine follows: temperature-controlled fermentation and a short maturation in stainless steel tanks.

It produces a beautifully pure, flavorful Vermentino, with notes of stone fruit, grapefruit, and almond. The characteristic bitterness on the finish makes this wine particularly gastronomic. Think of pasta alle vongole, grilled fish, or soft cheeses. Very fine, especially for its modest price!

Drinking at

Accessible, smooth, crisp-dry white wine to enjoy as an aperitif or with oven-baked salmon and fennel, pasta alle vongole, or soft, young cheeses.

Tasting note

A beautiful white wine with a refined aroma of peach, pear, melon, honeysuckle, and anise. Wonderfully juicy with ripe stone fruit and a refreshing freshness. The finish is mild with notes of toast and almond.

Shelf life

Drink now: keeps well for up to 4 years after harvest.
