Vermentino di Gallura 'Branu' Vigne Surrau 2025
The Vermentino of Gallura "Branu" by Vigne Surrau is a dynamic, energetic, fresh, and fruity Sardinian white wine, vinified only in steel. Inviting aromas of yellow fruit, chamomile, orange blossom, citrus, and other flowers invite a soft and juicy tasting experience, with beautiful freshness and minerality.
"Branu" is the fresh, energetic, and vital Vermentino di Gallura from the Vigne Surrau winery. Its distinctive characteristics, played on minerality and freshness, clearly reveal the territory of origin: Gallura. It is made from grapes grown in different plots located on the hilly ridges of Arzachena, overlooking the Surrau valley, surrounded by lush Mediterranean scrub and exposed to a breezy climate.
The Vermentino di Gallura "Branu" reflects the modern and territorial style of the Surrau winery, which has been committed for several years to enhancing the peculiarities of the terroir through a modern and innovative approach. In the winery, the grapes are destemmed and crushed, and the must remains in contact with the skins at low temperatures. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, around 15°-18°C, and the maturation on fine lees lasts for several months. All of this is carried out with great competence and rigor by the staff coordinated by winemakers Mario Siddi and Giuseppe Caviola.
The "Branu" from Vigne Surrau is an excellently crafted Vermentino di Gallura, slightly more delicate and drinkable than "Sciala". Its aromatic profile is fruity and floral, marked by clear notes of peach, aromatic citrus, orange blossom, and chamomile, with hints of sweet almonds and delicate spices. The taste is well balanced between fresh-salty energy, softness, and caloric presence. The fruity roundness of the sip is enlivened by a citrus freshness and a Mediterranean saline minerality, typical of the denomination. It lingers on the palate for a few seconds with an aromatic trace of citrus and almonds, inviting another sip. It pairs optimally with seafood dishes such as soups, first courses, and grilled dishes, but also with appetizers and fresh cheeses.
