2021 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. A brilliant water like core is surrounded by a distinct greenish tinged outskirts. Jumping out of the glass are scents of lime and green apple infused with fresh herbs followed by some wet slate and mineral notes. Mouth filling flavours of freshly sliced pear, lime and green apple sit over a bed of fresh herb infusions and wet slate. Texturally full and concentrated it finishes dry with crisp acidity and a long scrumptious saline mineral like laced aftertaste.
