It is called Prendas and is one of the good wines offered by the Cantina Sociale di Dolianova, one of Sardinia's finest cooperatives. It is a simple and pleasant Vermentino di Sardegna DOC, produced from grapes that ripen in a hot, very hot, almost arid climate. 100% Vermentino, the grapes are harvested by hand, after careful selection of the most suitable plots. Once in the cellar, the grapes undergo destemming, followed by soft pressing. The must obtained is then clarified by cold static decantation and the clean fraction is inoculated with selected yeasts. Thus begins the delicate fermentation phase, always conducted at a controlled temperature, over a period of about fourteen days. At the end of this process, the wine remains in contact with its noble lees for about 45 days, and is only bottled in the spring following the harvest, to preserve its freshness characteristics. Pale straw yellow in colour, with slight greenish highlights, the nose reveals intense floral aromas, but also fresh and fruity. In the mouth, however, it is pleasantly acidulous, with a delicate and characteristic bitter streak on the finish. To put it at ease on the table, just don't let it go without good fish. Excellent right from the (seafood) appetiser, than with a grilled or stewed fish.
Founded in 1949 by thirty-five winegrowers, Cantine di Dolianova has grown and prospered over time, reaching goals that were certainly not even remotely imaginable at the time. Today there are more than three hundred members and, very importantly, many of them are now the children or grandchildren of the founding members. In a sort of generational passage, much appreciated in the wine world. Today, the Cellars can therefore count on a heritage of around 1200 hectares of their own vineyards, mostly concentrated in Parteolla, in the south of Sardinia, one of the sunniest parts of the island. Thanks to this heritage, the company's sales force is able to sell more than four million bottles a year. Numbers that, in a viticultural panorama such as that of Sardinia, make Dolianova one of the largest and most virtuous realities in the sector. The winery's production is focused (as it should be) on the island's many indigenous grape varieties. From Cannonau to Monica, Nuragus, Vermentino, Nasco, Barbera Sarda and Moscato.
