Straw color with greenish reflections, bright. Intense persistent floral and vegetable aroma with note of lime and balsamic. At the palate the vegetable notes are predominant, smooth and full with good depth and well balanced, with a long persistent aftertaste.
After harvest and gentle pressing, the wine is fermented in steel tanks where it rests for a few months before bottling. Pala practices organic farming in the vineyard and does not use chemical pesticides or fertilizers.
Vermentino is the most modern of the Sardinian vines, it has been part of the heritage of this island in the middle of the Mediterranean for four hundred years. Thinking about Vermentino means thinking about Sardinia, which has become his land of choice, his homeland. As happens in the vineyards that the Pala family has cultivated since 1950, always using the same clone, reproduced and adapted in these limestone hills overlooking the sea of the Gulf of Cagliari.
Wildly fresh, the 2023 Vermentino Soprasole opens with a cascade of minty herbs and crushed apricots elevated by a tinge of candied citrus. This soothes with its round textures as saline mineral tones mix with lime and tart orchard fruit notes. The Soprasole tapers off fresh and long, with a gentle tension and a pleasantly bitter sensation that puckers the cheeks. This is a fabulous entry-level offering from Pala.
A delicious, well-rounded and seductive vermentino showing notes of spiced apples, baked pears and hints of honey. Medium-bodied with a silky and slightly oily texture on the palate. Flavorful and comforting.
