Domaine de Saparale - white Casteddu vintage 75cl
 CASTEDDU - AOC SARTÈNE - WHITE -
 Vintage 2023
 Roundness and finesse
 A pale, bright color with slightly golden yellow highlights. A very beautiful, complex nose with hints of hazelnut and white flowers. The aging in demi-muids is smooth. On the palate, its attack is rich, ample, and concentrated. We find hazelnut, but also the buttery and floral notes characteristic of Casteddu.
 A wine for gastronomy and aging, also very pleasant in its youth.
 Around 32 400l demi-muids produced each year.

 Grape variety
 Vermentino 100%
