Atzei Saragat Vermentino Isola dei Nuraghi IGT, Sardinia, Italy 2024

Description

The Saragat Vermentino is a vibrant reflection of Sardinia’s sun-drenched landscapes and maritime influence. In the glass it shows a luminous straw-yellow hue with green highlights, leading into a fragrant nose layered with rosemary, elderflower, white peach, and a touch of exotic lychee. On the palate it is soft and inviting at first, then unfolds with lively freshness, crisp orchard fruit, and a distinct mineral drive that speaks of the island’s sandy and volcanic soils. A short period of bâtonnage in stainless steel adds subtle roundness and texture, balancing the wine’s bright acidity and savory undertone. The finish is long, clean, and refreshing, making this Vermentino both expressive and versatile. A perfect companion to seafood, light Mediterranean dishes, or simply enjoyed as a crisp aperitivo.
