Nuragus di Cagliari DOC
Come si dice? Tap the speaker next to a name to hear it in Italian. AI voice.
No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.
Nuragus is a high yielding native white once the island's most planted grape, now mostly pulled out in favor of Vermentino. At its best it's a light, crisp seafood white: green apple, citrus, white flowers, a faint bitter almond note, modest alcohol and a clean, slightly saline finish. Nothing complicated, but well made examples from Argiolas or Dolianova are refreshing and cheap.
