Grape Varietals & Region: 80% Vermentino and 20% Chardonnay. The fruit comes from vines that grow in Agricola Punica estate vineyard's predominantly sandy soils.
Taste Profile: 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.
Winemaking Process: 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.
