“ NURAGHE SUPRAMONTE” VERMENTINO di SARDEGNA
DOC SARDEGNA - ITALY
PRODUCER: CANTINE PIROVANO

The Vermentino variety can be found under fairly intensive cultivation in nearly all the Mediterranean coastal districts from Spain to Liguria and on the two major islands semi-enclosed by that arc, Corsica and Sardinia. It is also grown in small areas on the island of Madeira and at some places in southern France.

Vermentino is clearly Spanish in origin. It seems to have traveled from Spain to Corsica in the 14th century and from there went on to Liguria. Its appearance on Sardinia on the final decades of the last century, and it was first planted in the Gallura at the island's northernmost tip.

From the Gallura, the variety spread to the other leading viticultural zones of Sardinia, principally the provinces of Sassari and Cagliari. It was traditionally trained to the alberello Sardo system but new techniques of cultivation, Guyot and Palmetta Speronata systems among them, have yielded the best results.

Nuraghe Supramonte VS is a smooth and elegant wine with distinctive personality which goes very well as an aperitif, light dishes, asparagus and white meats and sauces.
