Description
From the estate’s higher-altitude, older, and lower-yielding vineyards, this Sardinian Vermentino Superiore offers remarkable breadth, complexity, and freshness, showcasing the expressive potential of Vermentino from Gallura.
Meet the producer
Saraja, a recent project in northern Sardinia’s Gallura region, is rapidly gaining attention as one of the island’s most exciting new estates, combining modern winemaking with respect for traditional practices.
Production
The Guyot-trellised vines grow south-facing at 400–500m altitude on soils of sand, loam, clay, and quartz. The 100% Vermentino grapes are hand-harvested in mid-September, gently destemmed, and soft-pressed at low temperatures. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel over 15 days, followed by 6–8 months on fine lees and a further 2 months in bottle before release.
Tasting notes
Fresh and vibrant on the nose, with subtle citrus, honey, and lightly herbal notes. The palate is focused and textural, showing ripe apricot flavours balanced by mineral complexity and a taut, saline finish.
Food match
Pairs beautifully with sea bass, tuna, pork, and vinaigrette-dressed salads.
