This wine originates from grapes grown on "Tuvaoes" denomination vines. It is the position of these vines, which benefit from an easterly exposure, and the nature of the calcium-rich soil, that gives the grapes their flavour. The wine has straw-yellow colour with a golden reflection. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, strong and very long-lasting. It has a dry, flavoursome, mellow taste with a very pleasant bitterish finish. Contains sulphites. Produced by Azienda Vinicola Cherchi Giovanni Maria srl - Località Sa Pala e Sa Chessa - 07049, Usini (SS) - Italy.
THE REVIEW OF VERMENTINO DI SARDEGNA TUVAOES BY LUCA STROPPA
The producer
The relationship Giovanni Cherchi has with the land is unique. It is an intimate, close relationship, with love that expresses itself through continual care, respect and experience. The company's vineyards enjoy a unique geographical position among sweet Sardinian hills, which are exposed to the sun throughout most of the day and benefit from light breezes which come from the nearby sea. With picturesque names like "Pirapiglias" and "Sena and Sulumu", the grapevines cover about twenty hectares. The salient characteristics of this company are the traditions that are passed on from father to son and a never-ending search for even greater quality.
