Region: Sardinia, Italy

Varietal: 100% Vermentino

Tasting notes: Branu comes from the Spanish word "Verano" that was incorporated into the Sardinian language to mean Spring. As the meaning suggests, Branu is a wine with freshness at its core. Fresh and crisp, the palate is a mix of citrus, white pepper, green apple and floral notes with salty mineral undertones and just a bitter hint of almond. It is one of the most successful wines made at Surrau and now a benchmark for the Vermentino di Gallura category.

Producer: Vigne Surrau takes its name from the Surrau Valley, located between the communes of Arzachena and Palau in the heart of the Gallura appellation in northern Sardegna. Tucked among the rugged hills with an impressive view of the Limbara granite massif, the winery is a short fifteen minute drive to the Costa Smeralda and the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The location provides a perfect growing area for both white and red wines of extraordinary character and elegance.
