Experience the excellence of Vernaccia D.O.C., a white wine with a Controlled Designation of Origin crafted from aged Vernaccia grapes. These grapes are carefully stored in chestnut barrels within well-ventilated cellars, exposed to seasonal temperature changes.

After five to six years of aging, Vernaccia reveals its amber-yellow hue and an alcoholic aroma with hints of almond blossoms. Its warm taste is complemented by a lingering bitter almond aftertaste.

Maturing in small 3-6 hectoliter chestnut barrels for approximately 10 years, this wine undergoes a unique process where the barrels are deliberately kept empty to encourage the development of the characteristic yeast “flor” veil, creating the unmistakable flavors of Vernaccia di Oristano.

During tasting sessions, Vernaccia DOC captivates with its beautiful amber color and an aroma reminiscent of almonds. On the palate, it offers a soft texture with a subtle hint of bitterness.

• Perfect for contemplation,
• this wine also serves as an excellent aperitif or pairs wonderfully with dry almond-based desserts.

Serve chilled at 10-12°C for optimal enjoyment.
