Blog: Santa Maria la Palma · Sardegna

The Vementino 'Aragosta' from Cantina Santa Maria la Palma is considered the most famous 'performer' of Sardinian Vermentino ever. This is due in part to its consistent quality management and successful brand image. With the distinctive identifying mark par excellence, the lobster, Vermentino 'Aragosta' has become over the decades synonymous with Sardinian white wine and Vermentino in particular. It is a compelling example of an inexpensive and quality white wine from Sardinia. - Gerardo [TS06/22]

"The balance sheet figures of the Santa Maria La Palma winery cooperative are already impressive: over 300 members, 700 hectares of vines and a production well over three and a half million bottles. At the same time, the winery in Alghero makes it clear that the northwest of Sardinia is anything but a no-go area for quality wine. High class is definitely valued here, as are decent prices. In the ampelographic value structure, the traditional vines are right at the front. Among them, however, are also some international varieties." - Gambero Rosso
