2023 Cantina Santadi Villa Solais Vermentino di Sardegna
Cantina Santadi, from Sardinia’s southwestern coastal region known as Sulcis, was founded in 1960 as a cooperative of local growers. Under the guidance of Antonello Pilloni, Santadi has become one of Sardinia’s finest wineries today made up of more than 200 growers farming 600 hectares.
This Vermentino is made with 10% Nuragus, another local variety, and is matured for a few months on lees in stainless steel to provide the wine with an extra dimension of texture and flavour.
Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish toned edges and a watery hue. Aromas of pear, green apple and lime drift from the glass with some wet stone and fresh herb notes also evident. Fleshy pear and lime fruits carry good intensity and textural volume across a back drop of green apple, wet slate and fresh herb infusions. Finishes dry with brisk acidity and a long mouth filling finish.
Drink over the next year.
