Isola dei Nuraghi IGT Bianco "Sa Mama e su Sole" 2022 – Ilaria Addis

"Sa Mama e su Sole" is the luminous, lively, and sincere expression of Vermentino from Sardinia according to Ilaria Addis, a young and talented winemaker who works in symbiosis with the land and its rhythms. This white wine comes from a micro-parcel located in the highest part of the vineyard planted in 1992, on acidic soils of granite origin, over 300 meters above sea level.

The vineyard is managed in a radically natural way: no treatments, not even copper or sulfur, spontaneous grass cover maintained by the passage of a flock of sheep, and an agronomic vision that centers on soil vitality. Harvesting is manual, in mid-September, with collection in small crates and grapes immediately brought to the shade of the winery.

Winemaking is artisanal and respectful: spontaneous fermentation, no fining or filtration, manual pressing with a traditional press, regular battonage, and aging in steel on fine lees until March 2023. A light sulfitation only during maturation, no intervention before bottling. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally.

Produced in only 1300 bottles, “Sa Mama e su Sole” is a wine that vibrates with Sardinia, speaking of herbs, sun, wind, and rock. On the nose, it expresses aromas of Mediterranean scrub, ripe citrus, medicinal herbs, and a light smoky note. In the mouth, it is tense, saline, deeply material, with a long savory finish that speaks of granite and the island's light.

An authentic Vermentino, for those seeking distinctive, free, and unconventional wines.

Recommended pairings: soft cheeses, bottarga, crustaceans, Sardinian pasta dishes, spicy vegetarian dishes.
