Wines made from Vermentino grapes of Ogliastra
Discover the best wines made with Vermentino as a single variety or as a blend of Ogliastra.
Nervy, saline whites with cutting acidity and enveloping richness, showing aromas of grapefruit, lime, pear, white flowers, fresh almond, fennel and marine iodine notes. Slightly bitter finish. Star of Sardinia (Vermentino di Gallura DOCG), Liguria, coastal Tuscany (Bolgheri) and Corsica. Also in Provence and Languedoc-Roussillon as Rolle. An autochthonous Mediterranean variety.
IGT of eastern-central Sardinia, from the Gennargentu massif (1,810 m) to the Tyrrhenian Sea, wild schist and granite terroirs. Cannonau (local Grenache) dominates as the signature red — deep ruby with intense notes of ripe cherry, blackberry, plum, garrigue, myrtle and a spiced-balsamic touch, round tannins and a generous, solar palate. Monica, Bovale and Carignano in complementary reds. Fresh Vermentino and indigenous Nasco in whites.
