Tziu Martine Vermentino di Sardegna DOC - 2023

169,00 DKK
  • Tax included.

This Vermentino is made from 100% Vermentino grapes, with vines that are around 25 years old. The vineyard sits at 120 meters above sea level, with soil that's well-drained due to weathered granite.

The grapes are hand-harvested in early September, carefully collected in boxes. After a night in a cold store, they're destemmed, and the pressed grapes go straight into steel tanks. Fermentation kicks off with indigenous yeasts, with the juice staying on the skins for 48 hours. After separating the skins, the fermentation continues at 20°C until all sugars are consumed.

Once fermentation is done, the wine stays in steel tanks on the fine lees through the winter, enhancing its texture and depth. It's then clarified and bottled in the spring.

This Vermentino delivers a fresh, slightly salty taste, with clear citrus and fruit notes, thanks to the careful use of indigenous yeasts and brief skin contact.

Producer

Cantina Berritta

Nestled in Dorgali, Sardinia, Cantina Berritta is a family-run winery led by Antonio, who carries on a generations-old winemaking tradition. In addition to their vineyards, the family cultivates olive trees across three hectares, embracing the Sardinian way of life.
Located in the Oddoene Valley, near the coast, the winery benefits from a unique microclimate and soils rich in granite and limestone, ideal for producing high-quality grapes. Many vineyards lie within the "Classico" area of the Cannonau di Sardegna appellation.
While Cannonau is the heart of their production, Cantina Berritta also cultivates Vermentino and the rare Panzale grape, an indigenous variety once used as a table grape, now revived into distinctive white wines. Committed to organic practices, they honor their terroir through diverse vinification methods, using steel and large wooden barrels to highlight Cannonau’s rich aromatic profile.

Terroir

Dorgali - Sardegna

The terroir of Dorgali, located on the eastern coast of Sardegna, is defined by its rugged limestone hills, Mediterranean climate, and proximity to the Gulf of Orosei. The warm, sun-drenched days are balanced by cooling sea breezes and significant diurnal temperature variation, helping to preserve acidity and enhance aromatic complexity in the grapes. The soils, rich in limestone, granite, and clay, provide excellent drainage while contributing to the wines’ structure and minerality. These conditions create intense yet refined expressions of Cannonau, known for their depth, elegance, and age-worthy potential, as well as fresh, mineral-driven whites that reflect the wild, untamed beauty of Sardegna’s landscape.

Region

Sardegna

Sardinia’s terroir is shaped by its island geography, with rugged mountainous landscapes, vast coastal plains, and a climate that is primarily Mediterranean, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild winters. The island's diverse terroir includes granite, limestone, clay, and sandy soils, offering excellent drainage and contributing to the wines' minerality and complexity. Sardinia’s proximity to the sea provides cooling breezes, particularly in coastal areas, which help regulate temperatures and preserve acidity in the grapes. The island’s high-altitude vineyards in the interior regions benefit from significant diurnal temperature variations, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and develop concentrated flavors while maintaining freshness.

Sardinia is home to several unique native grape varieties, such as Cannonau, which flourishes in the island's dry conditions, producing wines with deep color, rich fruit flavors, and balanced tannins. Other important varieties include Vermentino, known for its aromatic freshness, and Nuragus, a white grape that produces crisp, mineral-driven wines. Sardinia’s terroir results in wines that reflect the island’s raw beauty and isolation, offering intensity, elegance, and a distinctive character that speaks to its volcanic, coastal, and mountainous landscapes.
