"Fruit that bears richly" ... the meaning of the name. Sciala evokes images of golden grapes in the warm light of the Gallura autumn. Here, millennia-old memories and modern precision come together to create a Vermentino that is considered the style-defining work (not only) of Surrau. The 2024 vintage in Gallura was strong in character and balanced at the same time – characterised by plenty of warmth from the sun, yet plenty of cooling sea air and the exposed altitude ensured concentrated fruit and aromatic elegance. In combination with a late, selective harvest, this beautiful vintage marks a highly lively expression between strength and finesse.

The grapes come from the estate's best plots: historic soils with a granite base, perfect drainage, constant wind, the grapes strictly selected to maximise the potential of all components. After only brief skin contact, gentle fermentation takes place in stainless steel, followed by around six months of maturation on the fine lees, balanced and clear in style.

In the glass, Sciala shines a brilliant straw yellow with greenish reflections. As always, the nose is magnificent and complex: white peach, citrus blossom, lime and a hint of tropical fruit, overlaid with a fine salty minerality. On the palate, the wine reveals its incredible depth: creamy yet lively, with clear fruit, fresh acidity and a mineral core. The finish is impressively long, structured, with a certain coolness and salty depth. Every year, Sciala brings the Gallura terroir to the glass with authenticity and a lively presence. A great white wine! SUPERIORE.DE
