Roccaìa 2020 Vermentino di Gallura DOCG Masone Mannu
Roccaìa is our most structured vermentino. Strong and persuasive with a vigorous and savory core. It comes from vermentino grapes grown according to biodynamic principles in one of our oldest vineyards, planted 35 years ago. A vermentino that makes a passage in wood to enrich its bouquet and make it softer. It shows a deep straw yellow color with golden hues. The nose expresses rennet apple and bergamot, brackish notes, hints of thyme and lemon balm and vanilla fragrances. The palate reveals fine, fresh, pleasant softness and good persistence. A great vermentino suitable for aging.
