Santadi Vermentino di Sardegna “Villa Solais”
Crisp, refined and beautifully expressive, this Vermentino opens with grapefruit zest, white peach and delicate floral notes, followed by a chalky mineral undertow and a long, clean finish. Sourced from the cool Sulcis hills of southwestern Sardinia, it delivers Mediterranean freshness with character and precision—ideal with seafood, grilled white meats, or as an elegant aperitif.
