Vermentino di Sardegna DOC Akènta Cuvée 71 2025 – Santa Maria La Palma is a still white wine produced from selected Vermentino grapes grown around Alghero, where limestone soils, generous sunlight and constant sea breezes shape the character of the vineyards. Cuvée 71 captures the brightness of north-western Sardinia and brings the Akènta philosophy into a refined still wine defined by aromatic intensity, freshness and a distinctive Mediterranean personality.

The grapes are harvested by hand during the coolest hours of the day and chilled before pressing to preserve their natural aromas. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, followed by ageing on the fine lees and a further period of maturation in bottle. Bright straw yellow with subtle green reflections, the wine offers aromas of white flowers, yellow peach, pineapple and passion fruit. The palate is fresh, full and harmonious, supported by an appealing saline quality and a clean, persistent finish.

Versatile and immediately enjoyable, it is an excellent aperitif and a natural partner for seafood starters, shellfish, fish-based pasta dishes, light fried seafood, sushi, sashimi and Mediterranean cuisine. Its gentle texture also works well with vegetables, fresh cheeses and delicately prepared white meats. Serve well chilled at approximately 6-8 °C to highlight its floral aromas, tropical fruit character and refreshing maritime finish.
