Poderi Parpinello 'Ala Blanca' - Vermentino di Sardegna

This 2022 Vermentino wine hails from Sardegna, Italy. Poderi Parpinello was a dream for co - founders Giampaolo and his son Paolo. In the past, when Giampaolo took his kids through the vineyards, they saw seagulls and shouted 'Ala Blanca', meaning 'white wing'. Inspired by this happy memory, the father - son pair crafted this wine. It's made from 100% Vermentino, the most widely - planted grape in Sardegna. The grapes undergo cold maceration and are not aged in oak. You'll taste notes of lemon, citrus, stone fruit, and bitter almond with a lovely texture. Ideal for warm days, pair it with lemon butter tilapia or crab linguini.

To enjoy this Poderi Parpinello 'Ala Blanca' Vermentino wine, first, chill it in the fridge for about an hour. It's best served at a cool temperature on warm days. When it comes to food pairings, as mentioned, lemon butter tilapia or crab linguini are great choices, but you can also try it with other seafood or light pasta dishes. There's no special maintenance needed, just store it in a cool, dark place when not in use. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures as this can affect the taste. And remember, it's meant to be savored slowly to fully appreciate its flavors of lemon, citrus, stone fruit, and bitter almond.
