IL PROGETTODOCGVERMENTINO DI GALLURAAAIT75104493Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita

No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.

Sardinia's only DOCG, grown on decomposed granite in the windy northeast corner of the island. The wines are the most structured Vermentino in Italy: lemon peel, green almond, white peach, a saline and slightly bitter finish, with more body and grip than the Sardegna DOC version. Superiore bottlings carry 13% or more alcohol and can age five or more years, picking up wax and honey. This is the benchmark for the grape and the easiest Sardinian DOCG to find well made.

Still hunting

I'm still looking for a bottle of this.

If you make Vermentino di Gallura, import it, or know who does, the form takes two minutes and I reply to every one.

Can you help me get one?
