Vermentino di Gallura DOCG Superiore Maìa di Siddùra «best of the best Italian Vermentinos» .

«It is always the territory that guarantees the quality of the Vermentino produced in Siddùra - explains the oenologist Dino Dini -, but the use of truncated conical vats starting from the fermentation has turned out to be a winning choice in enhancing the aromatic characteristics of our grapes. The wine then remains in refinement in the same rooms, until late spring, in order to mature its characteristic bouquet».
Only the Maìa is worked in truncated conical vats - informs Siddùra - as the selected and hand-picked Vermentino grapes are suitable, after a short pre-fermentative cold maceration, to complete the fermentation cycle and the subsequent refinement in contact with oak in large containers of 40 and 30 hectolitres. The wine worked in this way, concludes the Siddùra oenologist « acquires structure and character, which make it suitable also for long aging in the bottle . Vermentino, with Maìa, demonstrates once again that it is a grape suitable for giving long-lived products that improve with permanence on the lees over the long term».
