Vermentino di Gallura 'Petrizza' Masone Mannu 2024

“Petrizza” is the name that Masone Mannu chooses for its Vermentino di Gallura grown at 120 meters above sea level and a faithful witness to the characteristics of this territory. The winery, which very recently adopted a biodynamic farming method, has managed to overcome the now unpredictable weather phenomena of recent years, confirming its expressive capabilities also thanks to the freshness of this prestigious label. This last one has been made of cork paper, to pay homage to the cork oaks present on the estate.

The Vermentino di Gallura “Petrizza” is obtained from 25-year-old vines rooted in sandy soils suitable for the production of particularly aromatic white wines. The harvest takes place exclusively by hand, during the first decade of September, precisely to keep the fresh and savory characteristics of the varietal intact. The must is obtained from the gentle pressing of the grapes and left to ferment exclusively in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Once the process is completed, it matures on the fine lees for a few months always in steel at controlled temperature to maintain the aromatic characteristics intact and thus expanding the tasting range.

Masone Mannu with its “Petrizza” awakens the fresh and delightful notes typical of Vermentino di Gallura, which presents itself with a straw yellow color and greenish reflections. The fresh citrus aromas immediately strike for their cleanliness with hints of bergamot and lime, along with tropical fruits such as pineapple; in the second instance, the floral elegance of wisteria and the finesse of almond can be perceived. The tasting is fresh and tantalizing, confirming the citrus notes that leave, however, space for a brilliant sapidity that encourages tasting. Excellent when paired with grilled fish dishes or fried foods, for the deep cleanliness it leaves on the palate. An excellent combination of freshness and sapidity.
