Pitraia Vermentino di Gallura DOCG 2022 botrytized grapes

A botrytized Vermentino with pink granite, 18 months of marine battonage

Produced by Tenute Gregu from a special parcel embraced by a pink granite vein, Pitraia is made from Vermentino grapes affected by the so-called noble rot Botrytis Cinerea, harvested late in the second decade of October. Cold macerated for 24 hours at 5°C and fermented in steel with selected yeasts, it ages for 18 months with weekly battonage that enhances complexity and character, concentrating essence and connection with the terroir.

It offers a brilliant gold with pronounced minerality and a bouquet of peach, cedar, green apple, and arbutus, with a fresh and balanced palate where mint and ginger introduce lively complexity with an unforgettable marine aftertaste of salinity that evokes the Sardinian cliffs.
