Description
What type of wine it is
Pala's Soprasole Vermentino di Sardegna is a still white wine that expresses the Mediterranean essence through Vermentino grapes. This authentic interpretation of Vermentino di Sardegna DOC (Controlled Designation of Origin) presents a brilliant straw yellow colour with bright greenish reflections. On the nose, it offers an intense bouquet, characterised by white flowers and herbaceous notes, enriched by a fresh touch of lime. On the palate, it is crisp and savoury, offering a lively citrus freshness that blends harmoniously with a long, mineral finish, making for a pleasantly dynamic drink, enhanced by vinification in stainless steel.
Where it comes from
The vines take root in the Is Crabilis area, in the territory of Ussana, near Cagliari. The vineyards are situated between 150 and 180 metres above sea level, constantly caressed by sea breezes. The limestone soils of this area give the wine its distinct identity, conveying a clear savouriness and a decisive mineral imprint. These environmental conditions favour the development of clear aromas that recall the Mediterranean maquis, defining a territorial profile of refined elegance.
How it is produced
The production process begins with the care of historic vines. After soft pressing, the must ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, using exclusively indigenous yeasts. The process continues with a targeted ageing on the fine lees for about four months, also in stainless steel. This calibrated stay on the yeasts enhances the structure on the palate without compromising its natural immediacy, resulting in a white with a crisp and clean sip, supported by a consistently satisfying acidity.
History and curiosities
Vermentino has deep historical roots and is considered an indigenous grape variety of Sardinia, where it is widely cultivated. The wine's name, ‘Soprasole’ (meaning ‘above the sun’), represents a tribute to the island's landscape and its brilliant light that illuminates white cliffs and emerald vineyards. The grapes come from the Is Crabilis area and are harvested from historic vines that are between 35 and 45 years old.
