Winemaker Notes
Vermentino is a very fine white grape variety primarily cultivated in Sardegna, Tuscany, and Liguria. Outside of Italy, it is found in southern France, particularly in the Languedoc-Roussillon region, and in Corsica, where it is known as Malvoisie Précoce d’Espagne or Malvoisie à gros Grains. Vermentino is aromatic and produces wines with delicate yet strong fragrances and natural acidity, making it suitable for aging. Fresh and particularly mineral on the palate, you can taste the typical salinity of the vineyards exposed to the "mistral wind" that blows imposingly from the sea.
Food & Wine Pairing
A white wine with structure and body which can be served with any meal, particularly well-suited for shellfish or white meat dishes.
More Information
The Giba winery was established with the goal of creating wines that maintain a strong connection to their territory, capturing the unique features and potential of Sulcis. The "Cantina Giba" brand aims to convey its terroir through the quality of its wines, which is why single-variety vinification is employed for both Carignano and Vermentino. The vines, located in Calasetta, Sant’Antioco, Masainas, Nuxis, Giba, and Porto Pino, were selected for their suitability to this type of cultivation. In the early 1900s, phylloxera, a tiny insect that eats the roots and kills the vine, destroyed most of Europe's vineyards. As a result, 90% of vineyards were replanted with American rootstocks. Cantina Giba is one of the few European vineyards using ungrafted vines.
