The 2022 Vermentino di Sardegna La Cala is reserved with a delicate blend of savory herbs, spring flowers and green apples. This is softly textured with juicy acidity and ripe citrus-tinge orchard fruits. It tapers off with medium length and a mineral tinge.

A creamy white, with soft citrus peel acidity bringing a light tang, revealing notes of ripe apricot, tangerine, elderflower and salted almond. Drink now. 36,250 cases made, 7,000 cases imported.

The grapefruit and lime nose on this wine also brings almond flowers, stones and citrus zest. A citrusy palate delivers strong dandelion greens and flowers. An almost soapy floral finish comes with a bit of nuttiness.
