Selenu Vermentino di Gallura DOCG Superiore 2024

A Vermentino di Gallura Superiore DOCG from the most mature vines of Monte Limbara, harvested at dawn between granite and dew

If you are looking for a white wine of great structure and authenticity, Selenu is the Vermentino di Gallura Superiore DOCG that will win you over with its complexity and elegance.

It is born from the most mature vines in vineyards on the slopes of Monte Limbara, between 450 and 500 meters above sea level, in a privileged position overlooking the island of Tavolara. The deep roots of the older vines give the wine greater complexity and an authentic expression of the Gallura granite terroir. The clusters are harvested between mid and late October at the first light of dawn, still wet with morning dew, to preserve their freshness and aromatic intensity.

After fermentation with selected yeasts, the wine remains in contact with the lees for 6 months with batonnage every 3 weeks, followed by 12 months of aging in steel before bottling.

In the glass, it presents a brilliant straw yellow with greenish reflections. On the nose, an intense and floral bouquet with hints of ripe fruit and an elegant balsamic note. On the palate, it is soft, long, and persistent, with good freshness, minerality, and elegant balance.
