Description
Vermentino Monteoro is a wine produced by the
Sella & Mosca winery. It is one of the most important and historic wineries in Sardinia. Almost a century has passed since two Piedmontese viticulture enthusiasts, engineer Sella and lawyer Mosca, decided to reclaim the land on which the vines are now cultivated to produce
Monteoro.
Vermentino is a grape variety that has acclimatized well throughout Sardinia, but especially in the northeastern areas of the island, finding a truly ideal territory in
Gallura. On the slopes of Mount
Limbara, exploiting the granite-clad soils and combined with a typically Mediterranean climate, a grape grows from which to produce a white wine with an unmistakable bouquet. The harvest of the bunches takes place (only by hand) starting in the
second half
September,
with grapes particularly rich in
sugars and aromatic compounds. The
vinification of the
Vermentino Monteoro begins with an initial completely cold maceration of the pomace and subsequent soft pressing. In the second phase, the must undergoes a long
fermentation at just 15 degrees Celsius in large stainless steel tanks. The subsequent maturation, lasting several months, also takes place in stainless steel containers before bottling. It is a wine recommended for those who love a white wine with a warm and full flavor, yet capable of offering a great balance between softness and freshness. The
Monteoro confirms its quality by winning important national and international prizes and awards.
