WINE DESCRIPTION
Hailing from the island of Sardinia, Italy, Surrau's Branu Vermentino di Gallura is an exquisite expression of the Vermentino grape variety. The vineyards lie in the northeastern part of the island, benefitting from a Mediterranean climate and granite-rich soils that lend a unique mineral complexity to the wine. Surrau employs sustainable farming methods and modern winemaking techniques, fermenting the wine in stainless steel tanks to preserve its inherent freshness and aromatic qualities. As a Vermentino di Gallura DOCG, the wine guarantees the highest level of quality and authenticity.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
In the glass, Surrau Branu Vermentino di Gallura presents a luminous straw-yellow color with glints of green.The nose is a refreshing burst of citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit, combined with floral notes of jasmine and a touch of minerality. On the palate, the wine is crisp and invigorating, with flavors of green apple, pear, and a hint of white peach. A pronounced mineral backbone and balanced acidity provide a lively, yet sophisticated mouthfeel. The finish is clean and enduring, with a light echo of citrus zest and wet stone. A versatile wine, it pairs exceptionally well with seafood and light pasta dishes or serves as a charming aperitif.
