"Merì" Vermentino di Sardegna DOC 2023

The most classic of Sardinian wines. A very fresh Vermentino di Sardegna DOC, proposed here by one of the island's symbolic wineries, Argiolas. We are talking about Merì, a fresh and perfumed white wine that comes from a super careful processing of the best Vermentino grapes, harvested in the winery's vineyards. Plants that grow on richly calcareous soils, producing bunches concentrated in terms of aromas and fragrances and rich in terms of acidity and minerality. To make the most of the initial fruit, all the initial operations, from soft pressing to natural decanting at controlled temperatures, are carried out in an oxygen-free environment. In reduction, as the technicians say. Fermentation, on the other hand, always takes place in a controlled environment and continues for about 15-20 days. The result is a white wine characterised by its classic pale straw yellow colour, with evident greenish inflections. The nose is intense, with primary notes, typical of the vine, of citrus and fresh fruit. In the mouth, however, one discovers with pleasure a wine characterised by a lively, fresh and savoury taste. A well-balanced and fine white wine, it is simply perfect as an aperitif, perhaps served with a plate of seafood and shellfish. On the table it goes well with sushi and sashimi but also with delicate white meat dishes. Even a simple grilled chicken is immediately tastier with a glass of this wine.
