A Standout Vintage from Sardinia’s 2024 Harvest
The 2024 vintage followed a similar pattern to the excellent 2023 season, with warm days and cool nights that enhanced fruit concentration and aromatic complexity. However, a late July heatwave and drought conditions placed stress on the vines, leading to a 15% drop in yield compared to the previous year. The result? Lower quantities but higher quality – more intensity, more flavour, and greater depth in every glass.

| Winery | Ala Blanca means white wing in Italian. "Here come the white wings" the children would cry as they watched the seagulls fly over the vineyard. Vermentino is the main white grape cultivated in Sardinia. It is presumed to have Spanish origins, but its ideal setting is north of Sardinia, where it can fully express its distinctive characteristics. The Mediterranean climate has frequent north-westerly winds, which help reduce disease pressure in the vineyard. The vineyard is located on gentle slopes between Alghero and Sassari, where the Guyot-trained vines are planted on American rootstocks at a density of 4,500 vines per hectare. The vineyard comprises two main soil types: sandy soils close to the sea, which are poor in nutrients but offer good water retention. The grapes here ripen perfectly and provide a distinctive saline note to the wine. The other is a limestone soil mixed with calcareous stone, which is richer and produces elegant and structured wines. |
