2021 Nomoya Wines Vermentino Oak / Concrete aging 0.75 Ltr. White
picture of

Beautiful light, golden yellow color. The nose is lush and exotic. An exciting mix of citrus, green apple, pineapple, floral notes and fine herbs. Wonderfully mineral and exciting in the mouth. Complexity again goes hand in hand with a refreshing acidity that provides a nice balance. The barrel aging gives the wine more depth, culinary properties and Burgundian allures.

Ideal companion with various seafood dishes, light but tasty pasta dishes, summer salads and soft cheeses.

climate

Continental climate that is dry and very warm in winter as well as in summer. In some places almost desert. So irrigation is almost required. Due to the high temperatures, the grapes remain smaller than elsewhere and give more concentration to the wine.

soil

The soil is comparable to the one of Sardinia: vineyard with more granite and clay.

vinification

The grapes are picked in the cool of the night. After gentle crushing, fruit undergo a fermentation with exotic mosaic yeast in stainless steel vats. When the fermentation is finished, half of the wine is transferred to wooden barrels while the rest remains in stainless steel. The wine is then blended and bottled.
