Discover the grape variety: Verdanel
The Verdanel grape variety is particularly cultivated in the southwestern region of Gaillac, in the Tarn department. This very old white grape variety does not fear either the cold or the heat. Today, it is very rare and almost extinct. The Verdanel is not classified in the Appellations of Controlled Origin. The Verdanel has serrated leaves, almost whole and of a tender green colour. Its conical bunches are filled with medium-sized, slightly ellipsoid fruits. When the berries reach maturity, their greenish-white color turns to golden white. A dry white wine with a low alcohol content is produced from this variety. It also has a low acidity level. This wine goes well with spicy dishes as well as lobster or red mullet.

The wine region of Sardinia
Sardinia, located 240 km off the west coast of mainland Italy, is the second largest island in the Mediterranean. With an area of about 9,300 square miles, it is almost three times the Size of Corsica, its immediate neighbor to the North, and only slightly smaller than the other major Italian island, Sicily. The island, called Sardegna by its Italian-speaking inhabitants, has belonged to various empires and kingdoms over the centuries. This is reflected in its place names, architecture, languages and dialects, and its unique portfolio of wine grapes.
The word of the wine: Table wine
Everything that is not VQPRD (European designation for all appellation wines: quality wine produced in a specific region). In principle, the bottom of the ladder. But, as in Italy a decade ago (Vino da Tavola), this category is also a refuge for wines that are out of the ordinary, whose producers refuse to accept certain grape variety or vinification dictates.
