Cantina del Vermentino
Sardinia, IT
The company Cantina Sociale del Vermentino was created by 22 forward-thinking winemakers in July 1956 and named as a tribute to the noblest of the Gallura vines: Vermentino.
Sardinia [Sardegna] is a vast island approximately 230 km’s off the Italian coast. Due to its location and a history of invasion and settlement, Sardinia has had numerous cultures impact on its development.
As a result there are few of the more common Italian varieties planted on Sardinia.
Vermentino is the number one white grape variety [68% of Italy’s Vermentino is produced her] and indigenous varieties Nuragus and Nasco are common.
The ‘Nord Est’ Vermentino DOC is a great example of the clean, crisp, fresh almost saline Vermentino that the region has to offer, which Cantina is known for.
