In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Fennel and citrus dominate the aromatic profile, with fresh lemon and floral notes lifted by the wine's bright acidity. On the palate it's refreshingly balanced: neither thin nor heavy, the wine carries those aromatic threads through to a crisp, clean finish. Three months on fine lees after fermentation built subtle texture and depth without sacrificing the purity of the fruit. This is a serious, poise-driven white from the Mediterranean coast.

The Winery — Antichi Poderi Jerzu

Founded in 1950 by a village doctor in Jerzu, within Sardinia's historical Ogliastra region, this cooperative unites 430 growers across 650 hectares of prime hillside vineyard. Head winemaker Biagio Boi and consultant Franco Bernabei guide blending across multiple micro-climates—from the Gennargentu mountains to the coast—where soils are calcareous-schist and vines sit at 350–450 metres. The 2025 vintage caught the best of a challenging growing season: spring rain maintained vigour, summer heat built ripeness, and cool nights preserved the acidity that defines this Vermentino & Rolle.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This is a wine that drinks without ceremony—pour it with grilled sea bass, fritto misto, calamari, or any shellfish where you want the wine to amplify rather than compete. The acidity and minerality work beautifully across spicy and Asian cuisine, light salads, and roasted poultry. Serve chilled at 8–10°C. Perfect for weeknight entertaining, summer gatherings, or as an aperitivo. Explore our broader Sardinia range and our full Italy selection to discover what else this remarkable island offers.
