BORN FROM THE LAND, IN RESPECT OF THE LAND
ESPOSTO 221° SO
Esposto 221° SO is the first label by Tenute Sinis, a Vermentino di Sardegna DOC, already multiple times awarded at the International Vermentino Competition. It originates from a vineyard located just a few hundred meters from the stunning Is Arutas beach, famous for its rice-grain-like sand.
The vineyard that gives birth to Esposto 221° SO spans one and a half hectares and boasts old Vermentino vines, once abandoned, growing in a sandy soil rich in limestone content.
The name is a tribute to the vineyard’s location: like a beach towel exposed to the mistral wind.
Profile
The pedoclimatic context (soil and climate conditions) is such that it imparts sapidity, structure, and personality to the wines produced here. The grape harvest is slightly delayed to allow for a higher sugar content, resulting in a fuller-bodied wine with greater aromatic expression. Strictly hand-picked, the bunches are quickly subjected to white winemaking, with gentle pressing of the grapes and fermentation carried out entirely in stainless steel.
Esposto 221° S.O. shines in the glass with a beautiful straw yellow color with lunar reflections: a bright and lively appearance that remains still in the glass, barely swirling. The nose is rich and intense, offering sensations of Renetta apple and banana, intertwined with delicate notes of jasmine and honeysuckle, and deeper Mediterranean memories of rosemary and lavender.
On the palate, Esposto 221° S.O. stands out for its sapidity: flavorful, almost saline, yet simultaneously fresh and smooth. It is a structured wine, with an elegant and persistent sip, bringing back flavors of Saturn peach and chamomile flowers.
Pairings
Esposto 221° SO is a wine that lends itself perfectly as an aperitif: rich, refreshing, and ideal alongside creamy, slightly sweet cheeses like Asiago DOP.
At the table, it pairs beautifully with oysters, clams, and mussels as a starter, but also shines with seafood spaghetti, grey mullet bottarga with olive oil and cherry tomatoes, or — why not — with steamed croaker scented with lemon, or even an assortment of sushi, where its clean, crisp sip perfectly complements the marine notes and balance of flavors.
