Introduction
The 2021 Ummaredivino Biancosmeraldo Vermentino di Gallura Superiore is a refined expression of Vermentino from the Gallura DOCG in Sardinia, Italy. Crafted with precision, this wine showcases the unique character of Sardinia’s premier white varietal, Vermentino, delivering fresh acidity, minerality, and aromatic complexity. The "Superiore" designation reflects the wine’s elevated quality, resulting from careful vineyard selection and attention to terroir.

Terrior
Gallura, located in northern Sardinia, is the only DOCG appellation dedicated to Vermentino. The region’s granitic soils, along with a Mediterranean climate influenced by coastal breezes, contribute a distinct minerality and salinity to the wine. Warm, sunny days paired with cooling winds from the Tyrrhenian Sea help maintain Vermentino’s vibrant acidity and aromatic intensity.

Appearance
Pale straw with a golden hue, clear and bright, indicative of freshness and vibrancy.

Nose
The nose is aromatic and complex, with notes of lemon zest, green apple, and white peach, complemented by hints of Mediterranean herbs such as sage and rosemary. Subtle floral notes of jasmine and a saline minerality add depth to the bouquet, enhancing the wine’s coastal influence.

Palate
On the palate, this Vermentino is medium-bodied with a crisp acidity that balances its rich, layered texture. Flavors of citrus, pear, and green melon are accompanied by a distinct minerality and a slight almond note. The "Superiore" quality imparts a rounded, elegant mouthfeel, with hints of fresh herbs and a delicate salinity that add complexity and freshness.

Finish
The finish is long, clean, and mineral-driven, with lingering notes of citrus and a refreshing saline quality that captures the essence of Gallura’s terroir.

Overall Impression
