2020 PALA I FIORE SARDINIA VERMENTINO

91 points James Suckling: "Cooked apples, spices, jasmine and loquat are all on offer on the nose. Medium to full body, juicy acidity and an oily finish with tangy acidity to match. Drink now"

Notes of spring flowers and a hint of spice on the nose. Medium-bodied with accents of citrus and apple on the palate followed by a hint of salinity on the finish. Pair with seafood!

The Pala family began their adventure with wine in 1950 amongst the rolling, vine-covered hills of Serdiana, an idyllic village located in southern Sardinia. With mild winters and warm, dry summers, this part of Italy's second largest island is ideal for grape growing, with the traditional varietals finding a special home here. Under the guidance of Mario Pala as of 1995, the winery continues to be family-owned. The value of tradition and the innovation of modern techniques are both incorporated into the winemaking process at Pala.

Pala owns six different vineyard areas with a total of 68 hectares currently under vine. Each vineyard is planted with varietals that are chosen according to the microclimate and soil type of the individual site. Many of these varietals are indigenous to Sardinia including Monica, and Nuragus. Pala practices organic farming in the vineyard and does not use chemical pesticides or fertilizers.

A deep respect for tradition, special care and devotion to the vines and finally the production of great wines, have always been the fundamental philosophy of Pala. This dedication has resulted in wines of great character and elegance that are enjoyed by wine lovers around the world.

2018 LA CA' NOVA BARBARESCO

Typical garnet, some slight ruby reflections. Classic-style nose that releases fruity, roasted, violet and spicy aromas. Agile and elegant mouth, fresh acidity and precise tannins; what emerges is the purest and most varietal aspect of the Nebbiolo grape which in vintages such as 2018 is enhanced and gives longevity to the wine. (Wine-Is-Terroir)
