DESCRIPTION OF VERMENTINO SA RAJA
Vermentino di Sa Raja is a symbolic label of Sardinia, made with the most important and widespread white grape variety on the island. Vermentino is a variety that loves a warm and windy climate and adapts very well to coastal areas. It is no coincidence that it is also widespread in Corsica, Provence, Liguria and along the Tuscan coast. In the lands of Gallura it has found a territory of choice to express high-level whites, characterized by a sunny and Mediterranean face. Its fruity aromas, its harmonious and balanced sip, characterized by a typical marine flavor, make it a perfect wine to accompany a seafood menu.

The white Vermentino di Sa Raja is the most representative wine of this young winery, which is located in the center of the Gallura region, in the northern part of Sardinia. The estate extends over a beautiful hilly area in the area of ​​Telti and Calangianus, with vineyards grown at an altitude of about 500 meters above sea level, on soils made up of sands generated by the disintegration of granite rocks. The climate is hot and dry, always very windy due to the constant presence of the Mistral, which often blows violently from the north-west. At the end of the harvest, the bunches are pressed very softly and the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for about two weeks. Before bottling, the wine matures a few months in steel tanks.

The Vermentino wine produced by the Sardinian winery Sa Raja contains the truest and most authentic essence of the land of Gallura, its warm sunny days, the blue and clear sky swept by the wind, the typical scents of wild herbs and the salty sea breeze. It is a label with a straightforward and direct taste, which immediately illustrates the best qualities of Vermentino. It is presented in the glass with a very bright light yellow color. Intense and rich, it recalls aromas of white flowers, aromas of ripe fruit, tropical nuances, hints of aromatic herbs of the Mediterranean scrub and iodized memories. The sip is wide and harmonious, with a soft and expressive fruit, well balanced by a savory and fresh finish.
