VINI BUONI D’ITALIA!
“The entry of the Tresmontes winery, created in 2003 and holder of the Nuraghe Crabioni trademark, in guide “VINI BUONI D’ITALIA” was certainly with bang: 35 hectares facing the Asinara’s Gulf and almost unsurpassable average quality. The three leading Vermentinos are absolutely by level of the book. Mineral, citrus, white blossom and dry fruit notes, blurred and pleasant hints of hydrocarbon, power and elegance, make the Sussinku, the laurelled wine, a unique product. A close runner up to the semi-finals is Kanimari, which greets the nose with yellow flowers and peach and closes with a priceless granite souvenir. Spicy, citrus like with balsamic finish is Vermentino “Nuraghe Crabioni”. A very typical wine is Cannonau 2009 showcasing plums, sour cherries, pepper and citron”.
