Hi Folks, The Italian island of Sardinia is World renowned as one of the most beautiful in all of the Mediterranean, known for its stunning beaches, coastline and picture postcard views. However what keeps the locals and holiday maker's refreshed after a long day of sightseeing and festivities is the region's show-stopping varietal Vermentino di Gallura DOCG which is quickly becoming one our most requested white whites in our entire store! And in terms of quality and value for money its hard to look past one of the top producer's of Vermentino in the World 'Vigne Surrau' who have recently released their 2023 edition which is very aromatic; with peach blossoms, lemon-zest, yellow apple and citrus aromas. It has a rich, creamy texture that carries the apple and peach fruit into the finish, where the acidity-emerges into a stony minerality that lingers. We have many customers who absolutely adore this wine and for good reason (its delicious!) Sharing in this groundswell of enthusiasm and passion are seasoned wine writers Kerin O'Keefe of Wine Enthusiast, Eric Guido of Vinous Media and the German speaking World's biggest wine magazine Falstaff Guide who have all fallen under the spell of Vigne Surrau's Vermentino di Gallura DOCG.
''This savory, enticing white will transport you to the seaside thanks to aromas that recall Mediterranean brush, white spring wildflowers, a sea breeze and a warm, sandy beach. On the delicious palate, tangy acidity accompanies ripe white peach, lemon and saline.'' Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast Magazine
''It's silky and round in feel, resonating on inner florals, minerals and hints of savory spice.'' Eric Guido
''Aromas of citrus and tropical fruit notes and white pepper. On the palate there are crisp fruit and raciness vibrating across the tongue, with a harmonious finish.'' Falstaff Wine Guide Austria
''Chiselled aromas and flavours of white stone fruit and minerals. Closes long with zingy acidity. A very pretty, refreshing wine of sneaky concentration.'' Ian D'Agata, Vinous Media
The Vigne Surrau Branu Vermentino di Gallura DOCG has received numerous international awards in recent times having won gold medals across Europe in the biggest competitions including Mundus Vini and AWC Vienna and a Best Buy Recommendation from Wine Enthusiast Magazine.
