Alghero Torbato Centogemme 2022, Poderi Parpinello

This wine, made from the indigenous Sardinian varietal Torbato, offers a well-balanced and enduring mouthfeel, with a slight acidity that provides a refreshing tang. The flavor is full-bodied and pleasant, with hints of white flowers and white fruits, leading to a subtle bitter almond finish. The aroma is characterized by a saline, herbal quality that complements the lean fruit notes, particularly white jasmine. The floral aspects linger through a notably long finish, making for a comprehensive and satisfying tasting experience.

About the Winery

Located in Janna de Mare, due north of Alghero and west of the town of Sassari in the northwest of Sardinia, is Poderi Parpinello. The hillside terrain that surrounds contains densely planted vineyards & olive groves, around 30 hectares of which are farmed by Gianpaolo Parpinello and his son Paolo. Indigenous varietals are the main focus here, such as their heady, brooding Cagnulari, a rare Sardinian varietal with genetic ties to Graciano in Spain.
