Description
What kind of wine it is
Sciala by Surrau is a still white wine from Sardinia that enhances the essence of Vermentino di Gallura Superiore. Made from Vermentino grapes vinified in stainless steel, it stands out for its straw yellow colour with bright greenish highlights and an intense aromatic profile, characterised by notes of exotic fruit, citrus and white flowers, with hints of almond and delicate vegetal nuances. On the palate, it offers a structured yet fresh sip, with a pleasantly enveloping softness. The finish is marked by a pronounced mineral savouriness and a saline persistence, making it ideal paired with raw seafood and fish-based dishes.
Where it comes from
The vineyards grow in Sardinia, in the heart of the picturesque Surrau Valley in Arzachena. Trained using the Guyot system, the vines sink their roots into soils formed from the disintegration of granite, situated between 100 and 150 metres above sea level. This sandy-silty composition, rich in stones and poor in organic matter, defines the wine’s deep identity. The choice not to intervene excessively in the soil ensures optimal water and nutritional balance, limiting the vigour of the plants in favour of natural concentration and a distinct territorial character.
How it is produced
After manual harvesting and meticulous selection, the grapes undergo a brief cold maceration on the skins. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, preceded by gentle pressing. The wine then matures in steel for about six months in contact with the fine lees; the practice of periodic bâtonnage adds volume and a more complex structure. A period of final rest perfectly harmonises all the components, enhancing the aromatic elegance that distinguishes this Surrau label.
History and Curiosities
Born from the intuition of the Demuro brothers, Sciala represents the authentic soul of Sardinia.
