Filare Vermentino di Sardegna

A standout example of Sardinian Vermentino, this premium dry white captures the essence of the Mediterranean in both character and origin. Sourced from hillside vineyards at 300 meters above sea level, where granite-derived sandy loam soils and cooling sea breezes shape the fruit, it reflects the unique terroir of Jerzu on Sardinia’s rugged east coast—an area steeped in winemaking tradition dating back nearly a millennium.

Crafted by the historic Antichi Poderi Jerzu cooperative, this wine is made from hand-harvested grapes, carefully selected in early September. A short cold maceration enhances aromatic intensity before gentle pressing yields only the finest juice. Fermentation and extended aging take place in large French oak casks, followed by additional bottle maturation, resulting in a wine of remarkable finesse and structure.

In the glass, it reveals lifted aromas of white flowers, citrus fruits like grapefruit and lemon, alongside hints of pear, apple, and a subtle touch of spice. The palate is vibrant yet rounded, balancing fresh acidity with a creamy, silky texture and a refined mineral edge with a whisper of saline character. Both elegant and full-bodied, this is a sophisticated Vermentino that beautifully expresses its coastal origins and meticulous craftsmanship.

Food pairing: Perfect with seafood—think grilled prawns, linguine alle vongole, or sea bream carpaccio—as well as soft cheeses and herb-driven Mediterranean dishes.

Grape trivia: Vermentino thrives in coastal regions where salty sea air enhances its signature savory edge—often described as a “taste of the ocean” in the glass.
