La Contralta Vermentino di Gallura Superiore Fiore del Sasso 2020

Colour

Bright yellow with golden reflections.

Bouquet

Very intense, reminiscent of citrus fruit and Mediterranean scrub.

Flavour

On the palate, it is well-balanced thanks to a slight tannic presence that counteracts the glyceric and alcoholic notes, a full-bodied and defined taste accompanied by a lovely almondy finish.

Pairing

It pairs well with salt-baked fish, pasta and rice dishes with shellfish, grilled fish, and fresh cheeses. Finally, this wine is the perfect match with the 'Zuppa gallurese', i.e. a typical Sardinian baked main course from the Gallura area made of Sardian cheeses, bread, meat and vegetable stock.
