Sella & Mosca La Cala Vermentino Di Sardegna DOC 2019, Italy

100% vermentino grapes, a Mediterranean varietal which thrives under the beneficial influence of mistral winds. La Cala is romantically named for a small, secluded cove fringed by violet-colored thistles on the edge of the Sella & Mosca estate. The grapes are harvested manually and mechanically. After harvest, selected grape bunches are exposed to the warm autumnal sunlight and undergo a brief, natural drying process. Following a gentle pressing, the juices are fermented in stainless steel vats for 12 days at a low temperature. Aged only a few months in stainless steel tanks. Color: Pale straw with tints of lemon-green. Nose: Very intense with notes of citrus. Delightful, floral. Palate: Crisp and dry with youthful vitality and freshness. ermentino grapes, a Mediterranean varietal which thrives under the beneficial influence of mistral winds.
