Sa Raja Kintari Vermentino di Gallura superiore 2024
Sa Raja Kintari is a Vermentino di Gallura Superiore from the higher-altitude, older, and lower-yielding vineyards of Saraja estate in northern Sardinia's Gallura region. Offering remarkable breadth, complexity, and freshness, this wine showcases the expressive potential of Vermentino at its finest. Fresh and vibrant on the nose with subtle citrus, honey, and lightly herbal notes, the palate is focused and textural, showing ripe apricot flavours balanced by mineral complexity and a taut, saline finish. Why You'll Love It This is Vermentino di Gallura Superiore from Saraja, a rapidly emerging estate in northern Sardinia that is gaining attention as one of the island's most exciting new producers, combining modern winemaking with respect for traditional practices. The Superiore designation requires stricter standards than standard Vermentino di Gallura DOCG, and this wine delivers on that promise. The Guyot-trellised vines grow south-facing at 400–500m altitude on soils of sand, loam, clay, and quartz — conditions that create naturally low yields and exceptional fruit concentration. Hand-harvested in mid-September, the grapes are gently destemmed and soft-pressed at low temperatures before fermentation in stainless steel over 15 days. The wine then spends 6–8 months on fine lees, developing texture and complexity, followed by a further 2 months in bottle before release. This is Sardinian white wine with altitude, minerality, and genuine character. Vineyard & Winemaking Produced by Saraja in Vermentino di Gallura DOCG Superiore, Gallura, northern Sardinia, Italy.
