Vermentino di Gallura in its most authentic expression, true to its territory.
Cucaione fully embodies the characteristics of this grape variety, vinified as a pure expression from carefully selected grapes. It showcases the typical character of Gallura, where minerality blends harmoniously with the aromas of the Mediterranean maquis.
In the glass, its intense straw-yellow hue is enlivened by greenish highlights, typical of a young wine, enjoyable both in its release year and after 1 or 2 years of bottle aging.
The aromatic bouquet is marked by scents of aromatic herbs such as sage, fresh oregano, Greek basil, and thyme. These are followed by vibrant notes of jasmine, citrus hints, and nuances of ripe, fragrant white fruit such as pear and apple. A refined and elegant nose, displaying noteworthy complexity.
On the palate, this Vermentino reveals a vibrant and dynamic character with a dry sip, strongly marked by its sapidity and a freshness that gives the wine a vertical lift. Good roundness is provided by the glyceric component, which lends smoothness and fullness.
The finish is elegant and persistent, with a long fresh-savoury trail that cleanses the palate and invites another sip.
