What is Vermentino and why is it so popular?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The vermentino is a grape variety<\/strong> a white berry<\/strong> which has its roots in the history of the Mediterranean. It is cultivated mainly in Sardinia<\/strong>, in Liguria<\/strong>in Tuscany and even in Corsica<\/strong>not forgetting the South of France<\/strong>. Its great ability to adapt to the hilly terrain<\/strong>, at warm climate<\/strong> and the breeze of Tyrrhenian<\/strong> makes it a wine that releases all the charm of the maquis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The vermentino is a grape variety<\/strong> aromatic, fresh and with a profile floral<\/strong>capable of delivering wines fruity and savoury<\/strong> that conquer at first sip. It is no coincidence that it is one of the favourite wines of aperitif lovers, but also of restaurateurs who offer seafood cuisine<\/strong> and dishes at fish base<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Le origins of vermentino<\/strong> are still shrouded in mystery today, but many scholars claim that his provenance of vermentino<\/strong> is to be found in the Mediterranean<\/strong>, arriving in Italy from South of France<\/strong> and Spain. From there it spread along the Tyrrhenian coast until it found its chosen home mainly in Sardinia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Sardinia, the vermentino<\/strong> perfectly adapted to local conditions, between vineyards<\/strong> growing along the coast<\/strong>sandy soils and winds that bring with them all the tastiness<\/strong> of the sea. It is no coincidence that in 1996 the vermentino di Gallura DOCG<\/strong> has been recognised as the only docg of the region<\/strong>confirming the excellence of this grape variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The vermentino di Sardegna<\/strong> obtained the registered designation of origin in 1996<\/strong>recognition that protects its quality and link with the territory. The specifications<\/strong> sets the production rules, from the minimum number of vermentino grapes<\/strong> per hectare to the processes of vinification<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The result is a still wine<\/strong> of extraordinary elegance, from the straw yellow colour with highlights<\/strong> greenish, a bouquet<\/strong> rich who recall white flowers<\/strong>citrus fruits and notes of almond<\/strong>. At palate<\/strong> give freshness<\/strong>, one good structure<\/strong>a pleasant tastiness<\/strong> and that touch aromatic<\/strong> that makes it unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The vermentino di Sardegna<\/strong> is never the same, because its strength lies precisely in the variety of its types<\/strong> products. Alongside the classic still wine<\/strong>, there are versions sparkling wine<\/strong>charmat and classic methods, which enhance its natural freshness. Variants can also be found sparkling<\/strong> and even a rare passito<\/strong> or one late harvest<\/strong>capable of offering a more intense and complex profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each winery<\/strong> choose their own style, but all remain true to the character of the grape variety: a Sardinian vermentino<\/strong> which always retains the soul of the Mediterranean, both in its young and immediate superior versions<\/strong> that allow for greater ripening<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many wonder what the difference is between vermentino di Sardegna DOC<\/strong> e vermentino di Gallura DOCG<\/strong>. Both are excellent expressions of the same grape variety, but with different characteristics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The vermentino di Gallura DOCG<\/strong> comes from the northern part of the island, characterised by granitic soils and greater exposure to winds. This gives the wine a stronger character, savoury<\/strong> and with a strong good structure<\/strong>. The vermentino di Sardegna DOC<\/strong>, on the other hand, embraces the entire island and offers more versatile wines, ideal to accompany from theaperitif<\/strong> up to the fish dishes<\/strong>. Both represent the best of the Sardinian winemaking tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The process of vinification<\/strong> of the vermentino is taken care of down to the smallest detail. After harvesting the vermentino grapes<\/strong> in the vineyards<\/strong>This is followed by soft pressing and fermentation at a controlled temperature. This preserves the floral scents<\/strong>aromas fruity and savoury<\/strong> and that touch of maquis<\/strong> that characterises the grape variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n La ripening<\/strong> generally takes place in steel, to maintain the freshness<\/strong> and the immediacy of the wine. Some wineries<\/strong> However, they also choose to experiment with longer ageing, creating labels with great personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The vermentino di Sardegna<\/strong> is the perfect companion for the seafood cuisine<\/strong>. Its freshness<\/strong> e tastiness<\/strong> go perfectly with a crustacean<\/strong>, a mollusc<\/strong>or any reach to fish base<\/strong>. But not only that: thanks to his character aromatic<\/strong> e floral<\/strong>it is also excellent with traditional dishes Sardinian<\/strong>hors d'oeuvres, fresh cheeses and light white meats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The straw yellow colour with greenish highlights<\/strong> and its bouquet<\/strong> elegant make it ideal for a aperitif<\/strong> with friends or for a romantic dinner overlooking the sea<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best wineries<\/strong> of Sardinia produce labels of vermentino di Sardegna DOC<\/strong> which you can find both in specialised wine shops and online shops. Each bottle tells a story, from the still wine<\/strong> more immediate to the sparkling wine<\/strong> elegant, up to the more sophisticated versions such as the passito<\/strong> or the late harvest<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you choose a label from a small family production or one of the best known, you can always be sure of tasting a wine that carries with it the scent of the Sardinia<\/strong> and its sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because the vermentino di Sardegna<\/strong> is not just a wine, it is a sensory journey.
