Vermentino di Gallura DOCG BIO late harvest - Tonì

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

In the glass, it presents a luminous straw yellow with golden reflections. The nose is enveloping: tropical aromas of pineapple and papaya blend with fresh aromatic herbs, spicy and smoky notes, with a delicate buttery touch in the background. In the mouth, 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 whites. Tonì is the ideal choice with elaborate fish dishes, white meats in sauce, and unaged cheeses – or as a meditation wine for those who love complex whites. Serve at 10-12°C.
