Description

Agricola Punica Samas Isola dei Nuraghi IGT 2021

Agricola Punica Samas Isola dei Nuraghi is a crisp, fresh Vermentino from Sardinia. Bright straw yellow colour with light green reflections. The nose is a full bouquet of tropical and citrus fruits with a hint of sage. Soft and balanced palate with delectable and fresh mineral notes.

80% Vermentino and 20% Chardonnay.  The fruit comes from vines that grow in Agricola Punica estate vineyard's predominantly sandy soils. 

Harvesting the fruit at the first light of day to preserve the typical varietal notes of the grapes. Cryomaceration techniques prevent oxidation, resulting in a bright, vibrant wine. Prolonged fermentation using selected yeasts at controlled temperatures of 16°C, the wine remains on the less for approximately 40 days. Vinified separately, the varieties are blended and then rest in small concrete vats for 3 months to complete maturation and natural stabilization. No filtering or clarification before bottling.
