The 2025 Sa Raja Kintari Vermentino di Gallura Superiore DOCG is a distinctive Sardinian white made from 100% Vermentino, grown around Telti and Calangianus in Gallura at roughly 400–500 metres elevation. The nose shows citrus, white peach and orchard fruit with acacia blossom, thyme and Mediterranean herbs, complemented by the mineral character of the region’s granite and quartz-rich soils.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and beautifully textured, combining fresh acidity with ripe citrus and white-fleshed fruit. Six months on fine lees in stainless steel adds depth and a gently rounded feel without oak influence, while a pronounced saline quality brings freshness and definition. The finish is dry, persistent and mineral-driven, with lingering citrus and Mediterranean herb notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Vermentino drinkers who enjoy textured Mediterranean whites with citrus freshness, herbal complexity and a distinctly saline finish. Enjoy young and chilled or over the next 2–3 years. Pair with grilled prawns, calamari, seafood pasta, shellfish, grilled fish or Mediterranean vegetable dishes.
