Sardinia is known for the excellent white wine made from the Vermentino grape. You encounter this grape everywhere on the island. However, there is only a small area where the best Vermentino is produced: Gallura. This small area in the north is the only one with the DOCG classification. Vermentino di Gallura DOCG Spèra comes from this area and is made by one of the most prominent winemakers from Gallura. This is where this Vermentino di Gallura Spèra Siddura DOCG comes from.
Gambero Rosso
The Siddùra winery is one of the biggest surprises in recent years. It is a young winery of Gallura, that immediately won a prominent position among the region’s leading wineries. The credit goes to this winery, because it is run flawlessly with clear ideas about winemaking and style.
The ‘Spèra’ possesses the typical light-footedness of a Vermentino. It is a fresh and lively wine. Vermentino di Gallura d.o.c.g. Spèra has a straw-yellow to golden color with light green reflections. The bouquet immediately evokes the coastal regions of the Mediterranean: sun, sea, and wind in a glass. The delicate aromas rise effortlessly from the glass and are an intriguing blend of peach, orange and yellow citrus fruits, even some tropical fruit, which continue delightfully into the juicy, fruity taste. The underlying minerals provide good grip and a beautiful, finesse-rich finish that persists well.
Located near the medieval village of Luogosanto in the province of Olbia-Tempio, the Siddùra vineyards lie nestled among steep hills in northeastern Sardinia. The Mediterranean climate and the Mistral wind create a unique microclimate. Siddùra literally means saddle and is the wine project of German Nathan Gottesdiener and Sardinian Massimo Ruggero, originally from the city of Olbia. These two friends share an unconditional passion for Sardinia and purchased an abandoned yet charming property in the village of Luogosanto, surrounded by scrub and cork forests, in the Gallura wine region. It was transformed into a lush winery. Founded in 2008, it covers nearly 200 hectares, of which 22 hectares are planted with vines, on a soil mix of granite, sand, and clay. Here, in the heart of the Gallura DOCG, come the best Italian Vermentino wines.
The harvest is carried out entirely by hand, and the vineyards are maintained practically completely organically. Grass has been planted between the rows of vines to prevent soil erosion and to achieve better soil structure. The underground cellar is truly state-of-the-art, equipped with the most modern and innovative vinification equipment. Because half of the cellar is nestled beneath a hillside, gravity can be utilized, eliminating the need to pump the must mechanically. This is the domain of oenologist Dino Dini. In addition to the 22 hectares on the winery itself, Siddùra also owns another 15 hectares of vineyards in the province of Sassari, spread across the villages of Monti and Usini, where Cannonau and Cagnulari vines are planted.
Well chilled (to 6°C), this wine is drunk as an aperitif. Additionally, it is enjoyed with fried fish, shellfish, risotto and pastas with fish sauces, omelets, and fresh Pecorino cheese.
