What kind of wine is Vermentino di Sardegna DOC 'Pusole Bianco' 2024?

The Vermentino di Sardegna DOC 'Pusole Bianco' 2024 is born in the pristine territories of Baunei and Lotzorai, on the eastern coast of Sardinia. The Pusole family vineyards stretch a few kilometers from the sea, on sandy soils of granite disintegration, rich in clay: an ideal environment for Vermentino, which here manages to express all its Mediterranean personality. It is a fresh, fragrant, and mineral white wine, a symbol of Sardinian authenticity and the artisanal philosophy of the winery, which has always been dedicated to enhancing the territory.

Vintage details

The 2024 vintage in Sardinia was characterized by a mild winter with little rainfall, followed by a balanced spring that favored regular flowering. The summer, warm but breezy thanks to sea breezes, allowed optimal ripening of the grapes, preserving aromas and acidity. The result is a vibrant wine with a crisp aromatic profile and pleasant freshness.

Vinification and aging

The Vermentino di Sardegna DOC 'Pusole Bianco' 2024 is vinified exclusively in stainless steel, a choice that allows the varietal characteristics of the grape to be preserved intact. Fermentation at a controlled temperature preserves the aromas of citrus and white flowers typical of Vermentino, while a brief aging on the lees gives the wine greater roundness and complexity. No wood aging: everything is designed to enhance the natural expression of the fruit and the minerality of the terroir.

Storage and aging

How to store Vermentino di Sardegna DOC 'Pusole Bianco' 2024 wine to maintain its fragrance? It is advisable to store it in a cool, dark place, at a stable temperature of around 12-14°C, away from heat sources and vibrations. Being a young and delicate white wine, it is best enjoyed within 2-3 years of the harvest, a period in which it best preserves its freshness, floral aromas, and typical marine imprint that characterizes it. After this time, it can still offer softer and more mature notes, but loses some of its original lively energy.
