If you love Sauvignon Blanc then Vermentino is your friend.
Despite the typical light-bodied character of Vermentino, it’s actually quite complex to taste. This is because Vermentino has higher levels of phenols which contribute to its subtle bitterness on the finish–a taste often described as green almond.

ABOUT Cantina Santa Maria La Palma
At Santa Maria la Palma, there are no Counts, Barons or Marquises, Instead, there are numerous families of humble winemakers were allocated a series of uncultivated lots near the city of Alghero. Rather than a silver spoon, they had strong arms, straight backs, passion and commitment. Together, they tilled the soil and planted the vines. They harvested the grapes and built up an entire vineyard, These land plots were ideal for vines, great soil, plenty of sun and the sea nearby. They chose the grape types they wanted to grow, combining some well-know names with some lesser-known jewels. We are the children and grandchildren. Nobility is to be found in hard work and in the fruits of that labour. For this reason, our nobility us in the wines we make.
