Made from Vermentino grapes grown in the Isola dei Nuraghi area, it comes from \u003cstrong\u003eold vines\u003c\/strong\u003e that give the glass remarkable intensity. The aromatic profile stands out for its persistent bouquet, where floral aromas and unmistakable notes of \u003cstrong\u003eMediterranean scrub\u003c\/strong\u003e emerge, perfectly integrated with fresh hints of apple, pear, citrus and summer fruits. On the palate, it offers a warm and full sip, making it an ideal companion for shellfish, seafood and first courses with delicate flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes destined for this wine grow in the Sardinian localities of Tanca S’Arai and Benatzu Coloru, in the territory of Serdiana. The rows extend over medium hill slopes and are managed using the \u003cstrong\u003elow espalier\u003c\/strong\u003e training system. The soil is sandy and clay-limestone, enriched by a significant presence of \u003cstrong\u003estones and rocky fragments\u003c\/strong\u003e. This particular soil composition translates into the glass as a pronounced \u003cstrong\u003emineral sensation\u003c\/strong\u003e and a highly defined aromatic profile, maintaining balanced yields and excellent fruit definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork in the winery begins with a careful selection of Vermentino bunches, followed by gentle pressing. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a \u003cstrong\u003econstant temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e of twelve degrees. At the end of the process, the wine rests on the \u003cstrong\u003efine lees\u003c\/strong\u003e for about three months, a crucial maturation to give the liquid a silky texture and a fine structural creaminess. During tasting, a remarkable balance emerges, guided by a \u003cstrong\u003ejuicy acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e and a savoury streak that prolongs the sip into a persistent finish with clear returns of yellow fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eVermentino Stellato 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e from the renowned Pala winery encapsulates the most authentic essence of Sardinian viticulture, originating from \u003cstrong\u003eold vines\u003c\/strong\u003e around sixty years old in Serdiana.
