Vermentino di Gallura

Vermentino di Gallura is Sardinia's only white wine DOCG, produced from Vermentino grown on the granite soils of northern Sardinia's Gallura region. The wines show intense aromatic character — white flowers, citrus peel, peach, and bitter almond — with a distinctive saline bitterness and mineral freshness that reflect both the granite terroir and the Mediterranean sea breeze.
