Piero Mancini 2025 Vermentino di Gallura

Tasting Notes

The Piero Mancini 2025 Vermentino di Gallura is a premium expression of 100% Vermentino sourced from estate vineyards in the Gallura region of northeastern Sardinia, Italy's only DOCG designated area for this variety. Cultivated in nutrient-rich, eluvial soils composed of weathered granite and fine sand, the grapes yield a distinctively mineral-driven profile shaped by coastal Mediterranean breezes. Fermented entirely in stainless steel at a controlled 18°C to maximize its freshness, this pale straw-yellow wine with greenish glints offers an elegant bouquet of ripe white peach, tangerine, wild chamomile, and crushed stone. On the palate, it balances a silky, medium-bodied texture with a vibrant, laser-beam core of tart citrus acidity and classic herbaceous undertones, gracefully sweeping into a long, mouthwatering finish defined by saline minerality and a signature hint of green olive. The wine’s pronounced salinity and bright structural framework make it a versatile pairing partner, exceptionally suited for fresh seafood, such as grilled prawns, fritto misto, or garlic butter scallops over linguine. Its inherent richness on the mid-palate provides enough body to comfortably stand up to grilled white meats like lemon herb chicken, while its crisp acidity effortlessly cuts through light, savory fare like a fresh Greek salad with feta, or traditional Sardinian Pecorino cheese.
