Wine: Bianco Smeraldo | Vermentino di Gallura D.O.C.G. Superiore

Discover Bianco Smeraldo Wine:

Bianco Smeraldo is an exceptional Vermentino di Gallura Docg Superiore crafted solely from Vermentino grapes.
The grapes are harvested from the vineyard located in “Su Crabileddu” (western slope of the estate) with a very low yield per hectare (4500 bottles of 750 ml from one hectare of vineyard).
The vineyards grow on granitic decomposing soil and are cultivated with low short spur guyot training system.
The harvest starts manually in early September (first week). The grapes undergo cold maceration in a refrigerated cellar (near 0°C) for 24-48 hours. After destemming, the must rests at temperatures close to 0°C for 48-72 hours (skin maceration) before being gently pressed. This extended processing time, lasting about one week compared to the traditional two hours, preserves the fragrance and aromas of the original fruit. The must ferments in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The wine ages on its fine lees for several months before bottling.

On the palate, it is satisfying and soft with gentle acidity and a dry, sapid finish.
