Cayenne Submariner Vermentino di Sardegna 2021

With the Cayenna Submariner, Tenuta Asinara has decided to revive an ancient tradition, dating back to the ancient Romans. Using means such as a helicopter, the Sassu family has chosen to immerse the Vermentino grapes from which Cayenna Submariner is born, a unique and unrepeatable wine, in the Gulf of Asinara. Taking advantage of the saline action of sea water, dehydration is promoted and therefore the aromatic and gustatory concentration.
