Poderi Parpinello 'Ala Blanca' Vermentino di Sardegna 2025

Poderi Parpinello is a family estate on the sun-drenched coastal vineyards of Sardinia, run by Giampaolo Parpinello. The wine is named 'Ala Blanca' — white wings — because when Giampaolo walked with his young children through the vineyards, they would cry out "here come the white wings!" whenever they spotted seagulls hovering over the vines on the sea breezes. It is a wine with a story, and a character to match.

About This Wine

Made from Vermentino grown on the coastal vineyards of Sardinia, this is a crisp, elegant white that showcases the authentic character of Italy's island terroir. Vermentino is Sardinia's signature white grape — aromatic, mineral, and intensely food-friendly, with a saline freshness that reflects its coastal origins.

Tasting Notes

Finish: Clean and persistent with a saline, mineral close

Food Pairing

A natural match for seafood, grilled fish, and fresh salads. The saline minerality makes it a classic partner for oysters and shellfish.
