Vermentino di Gallura
Wine · PDO · 23 municipalities
Recognised since 1976, the Vermentino di Gallura DOCG defines a highly specific viticultural profile across 23 Sardinian municipalities, including Aggius. What separates this denomination from broader regional designations is its strict composition, requiring a minimum of 95% Vermentino grapes. While the base still wine yields up to 10.0 tonnes per hectare with a minimum alcohol content of 12.0% volume, the disciplinare uniquely regulates specialized typologies. Notably, the metodo classico spumante must undergo at least 9 months of aging on the lees before disgorgement. These wines display a straw-yellow color with light greenish reflections and a dry to medium-sweet flavor, often carrying a slightly bitterish aftertaste.
