Poderi Parpinello Sessantaquattro Vermentino di Sardegna DOC 2023
Aromatic notes of citrus and tropical fruit lead to a vibrant and beautifully fresh palate of green fruits and lime with a pleasing note of bitter almond on the finish.
"Sixty-four" is the year in which Giampaolo Parpinello started his career as an oenologist in Sardinia. This wine commemorates his first 50 years of dedication and passion for vines and wines. Vermentino is the main white grape cultivated in Sardinia. It is presumed to have Spanish origins, but has found its ideal setting in the North of Sardinia, grown in the soils of calcareous marne, conglomerate sandstone. The vineyard is cultivated without the use of chemicals or herbicedes, and with the aim of preserving the biodiversity of the vineyard. Pruning and harvesting are manual, with the careful selection of grape clusters, to ensure the highest quality fruit is selected.
The grapes were carefully selected, to ensure the highest quality. A long prefermentation maceration took place at low temperatures, followed by cool fermentation which lasted for 15 days. Vinification took place in stainless steel tanks to preserve the characteristics of the Vermentino variety with four months’ ageing on the lees to impart texture and complexity.
