In the glass, it presents a \u003cstrong\u003edry, fresh and linear\u003c\/strong\u003e style, characterised by a slender yet well-defined body and a pronounced acidity. The aromatic profile opens with fragrant notes of white flowers, aromatic herbs and \u003cstrong\u003etomato leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e, enriched by delicate hints of yellow-fleshed fruit and lemon zest. On the palate, it is \u003cstrong\u003elively and savoury\u003c\/strong\u003e, finishing with a persistent floral note and a pleasantly bitter aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown in the Tuvaoes vineyards, located in north-west Sardinia along the hills of Logudoro. The vines benefit from an eastern exposure and grow at around two hundred metres above sea level, on \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous and clay soils\u003c\/strong\u003e. This terroir, caressed by \u003cstrong\u003esea breezes\u003c\/strong\u003e and mistral winds, ensures marked temperature variations that give the wine a \u003cstrong\u003edistinct minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e. In this context, Cherchi has been cultivating its vines since the 1970s, working closely with the land to enhance the value of local grape varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the vineyards, trained on a vertical trellis system and pruned using the Guyot method, the health of the plants is promoted without resorting to invasive chemical treatments. During the second half of September, the bunches are harvested through careful \u003cstrong\u003emanual selection\u003c\/strong\u003e, working with low yields. Destemming and gentle pressing precede fermentation at a controlled temperature to preserve the primary aromas of the grapes. The entire production process takes place in a unique \u003cstrong\u003ecellar carved into the rock\u003c\/strong\u003e, located right next to the rows of vines. This environment, with an underground section, ensures ideal thermal conditions for ageing, resulting in a glass with a \u003cstrong\u003esmooth and well-defined\u003c\/strong\u003e profile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the 1970s, the Cherchi family has embodied the authentic spirit of the Logudoro hills through its \u003cstrong\u003eTuvaoes Vermentino di Sardegna DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e.
