Sardinia's most important white wine DOC and the definitive expression of Vermentino — the aromatic white variety planted across the island's granite and limestone hills, producing wines of extraordinary aromatic intensity, bitter almond finish, and the briny Mediterranean minerality that reflects Sardinia's coastal culture. Vermentino di Gallura DOCG (the island's highest designation) from the granite soils of northeastern Sardinia produces the most concentrated and age-worthy expressions. Sardinia's wines have been shaped by centuries of Catalan, Pisan, and Arab influence — a unique Mediterranean crossroads of viticulture.
