Vermentino di Gallura 'S'Eleme Oro' Cantina del Vermentino 2024

The Vermentino di Gallura “S’Eleme Oro” from Cantina del Vermentino is a Sardinian wine that presents itself with a business card where fruity aromas stand out as the protagonists. Fresh and intense are indeed the scents of well-ripened apple and white peach, enriched at the end of the olfactory examination by almond returns. An identity label, in which the territory emerges thanks to the palate salinity that recalls the proximity to the sea, which infiltrates between the rows thanks to the breezes that daily sweep through Gallura.

The “S’Eleme Oro” is a Vermentino di Gallura that comes from recently planted vineyards, located about 450 meters above sea level. We find ourselves within a terroir characterized by granitic decomposition soils, often battered by salty winds, capable, especially in summer, of mitigating the warm temperatures. The clusters, carefully harvested during the harvest phase, are destemmed, and the grapes are sent for pressing. The must ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, remaining then in steel for a few months to refine. At the end of this period, the wine is ready to be bottled and marketed by Cantina del Vermentino.

S’Eleme Oro” reveals itself visually with a straw yellow color, crossed by greener reflections visible especially at the rim. The nose is a beautiful succession of crunchy and refreshing notes, from which a clear reference to fruit and almond is perceived. On the palate, it is light, straightforward, and youthful, with a dry, enveloping sip, characterized by good salinity in the finish. A label with which Cantina del Vermentino, a productive reality that today can count on as many as 200 contributing members, pays the right tribute to the Sardinian terroir of Gallura. If you have a fish-based menu in mind, this is the bottle for you, allowing you to make a great impression at a truly moderate price.
