A skin-contact Vermentino from Panevino in Sardinia, made with zero additions and extended maceration, producing an orange wine of saline freshness, dried herb complexity, and the distinctive mineral character of Sardinia's ancient vineyards.
Tasting Notes
Pale amber-gold with natural haze. The nose is aromatic and fresh with white stone fruit, Mediterranean herbs, and a distinctive salty, mineral quality. On the palate it is dry and textural with a pleasant tannic grip from the skin contact, a lively acidity, and a long, savoury, mineral finish. Sardinian Vermentino at its most natural and honest.

About the Producer
Panevino is the project of Gianfranco Manca, a baker turned natural winemaker from Sardinia who farms a small plot of ancient indigenous vines without any chemical inputs and vinifies with absolute zero intervention. The name means "bread and wine," reflecting his belief that both are the honest foundation of a good life. Panevino wines are rare, uncompromising, and sought after by the most serious natural wine collectors.
