Surrau - Limizzani - Vermentino di Gallura
Overview: Named after the Surrau Valley, which is found between Arachena and Palau right in the heart of Gallura in northern Sardegna, Vigne Surrau sits amongst the rugged hills only fifteen minutes from the Mediterranean Sea. The estate was founded around a love for Vermentino, and today it is still 70% of the wineries production. Vermentino di Gallura is widely considered the greatest expression of Sardinian Vermentino, with influences from the granite soils and the Mistral sea winds that whip across the vineyards.
'Limizzani' is the name of a mystical site from the ancient Mediterranean civilizations that inhabited the region thousands of years ago. This bottling is made up of Vermentino from all across the eight vineyards Surrau has, of which range in age between 7-12 years old and all grow upon sandy, granite soils. After fermentation the wines age for 4 months in stainless steel, with an additional 1 month in bottle before release.
Tasting Notes: Daffodils and tulips bloom on the nose, with notes of lime and stone providing balance. Citrus continues on the palate, before a bitter almond finish. Salt and acidity dance with a slick, oily texture.
Pairing: Salt cod croquette
Points: 90, Wine Enthusiast
Format / ABV: 750 ml / 14.0%
In certain circumstances, a specific vintage may not be available. If this is the case, a comparable vintage of the same wine will be substituted for online orders. If shopping in store, please check the bottle for the appropriate vintage. If you have a question about a specific vintage that is in stock, please email wine@kegnbottle.com
