Cherchi Tuvaoes Vermentino di Sardegna 2025

Cherchi Tuvaoes Vermentino di Sardegna 2025 is a dry, lively white that captures the fresh, aromatic character of Vermentino grown in Usini, in north-western Sardinia. Made by the Cherchi family since the 1970s, it comes from a distinctive hillside site and has earned the prestigious Tre Bicchieri recognition from Gambero Rosso.

Tasting Notes
Pale and bright in the glass, it opens with white flowers, aromatic herbs and a distinctive hint of tomato leaf, followed by notes of yellow fruit and lemon zest. The palate is crisp, slender and well defined, with lively acidity, a lightly spicy edge and a mineral impression. Floral notes linger alongside a pleasantly bitter finish. Its fresh style is best enjoyed while youthful; its longer-term aging potential is not specified.

Production
The grapes come from the Tuvaoes vineyards in the Logudoro hills, around 200 metres above sea level, where east-facing vines grow in calcareous clay soils. Sea breezes and the Mistral help shape the site’s pronounced day-to-night temperature shifts. The vines are Guyot-pruned and trained on vertical trellises, with care taken to avoid invasive chemical treatments. Carefully selected grapes are hand-harvested at low yields in the second half of September, destemmed and gently pressed, then fermented at controlled temperatures to preserve their fresh aromas. The wine is produced and matured in a cellar carved into the rock beside the vineyards.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C, with grilled or simply prepared seafood, shellfish, herb-seasoned white fish, or fresh cheeses. Its bright acidity and herbal notes also suit vegetable dishes and Sardinian antipasti. Decanting is not necessary; allow it a few minutes in the glass to open.

Producer
The Cherchi family has cultivated vines in the Usini area since the 1970s, focusing on the character of local grape varieties and the hills of Logudoro. Tuvaoes is made in a cellar carved into the rock near the vineyards, reflecting the estate’s close connection to its landscape. The wine has received Gambero Rosso’s Tre Bicchieri distinction, a notable accolade for Sardinian wine.
