Vermentino di Gallura DOCG BIO late harvest - Tonì

Cantina Manconi's Vermentino di Gallura DOCG Organic Late Harvest 2023 Tonì originates from a late selection of Vermentino grapes in Alta Gallura, on granitic soils at the foot of Mount Limbara. The winemaking process is precise: manual harvesting, destemming, cooling of whole grapes for two nights, bleeding of the free-run must, and initiation of fermentation. Aging on fine lees in tanks for several months, followed by 2-3 months in bottle. The result is a warm, soft, and complex Vermentino, far from the fresh and immediate version of the Superiore.

In the glass, it presents a bright straw yellow with golden reflections. The nose is enveloping: tropical aromas of pineapple and papaya blend with fresh aromatic herbs, spicy and smoky tones, with a delicate buttery touch in the background. On the palate, it is warm and soft, with hints of lemon candy and wafts of thyme, balanced by a fresh vitality that makes it persistent and refined.

Recommended for: Those who want to discover Vermentino di Gallura in its most intense and structured version, far from fresh and immediate white wines. Tonì is the ideal choice with elaborate fish dishes, white meats in sauce, and unaged cheeses — or as a meditation wine for those who appreciate complex whites. Serve at 10-12°C.
