The “Vernaccia” wine of Serra Brothers was the first Sardinian wine to achieve the DOC (Controlled Designation of Origin) acknowledgement. The “Vernaccia” of Oristano is a wine that has very specific characteristics: it is dry, etheric, fragrant and spicy, with a scent of toasted almond. This golden-colored wine is delicate, worm and velvety. The “Vernaccia” of Oristano – aged under a veil of yeasts – is obtained from the vinification of the grapes produced in the family company. This wine is excellent after meal and pairs well with almond sweets.
