The one proposed here by Tenute Tondini is an interesting Vermentino di Gallura DOCG Superiore. It is called Katala and comes from the sunny hills of Sardinia. An oenological masterpiece that encapsulates the freshness of the sea, the minerality of the earth and the wisdom of a historic winery. A wine capable of conquering with its complexity and elegance. Gallura, the northernmost tip of Sardinia, is a land rich in history and winemaking tradition. Its climate is Mediterranean, characterised by mild winters and hot summers. These ideal conditions, combined with sea breezes and granite soils, create an ideal environment for the cultivation of Vermentino, which not surprisingly finds its best expression here. Vinification involves a fermentative maceration on the skins lasting about 6 days at a controlled temperature. This allows their intense colour and complex aromas to be extracted from the grapes. Intense straw yellow in colour with greenish highlights, the nose reveals an intense and persistent bouquet of ripe yellow fruit, such as peach and apricot. Then floral notes of broom and white flowers, hints of minerals and Mediterranean scrub. In the mouth, Katala reveals a well-balanced and 'fat' body, giving the wine a smooth and persistent sensation. The acidity is well balanced and gives the wine a pleasant freshness. The finish is persistent and pleasantly fruity. It goes well with grilled and baked fish dishes. Excellent with sea bass baked in salt or grilled swordfish.
