Mora & Memo, Tino, Vermentino di Sardegna, DOC Sardinia, Italy, 2022

Producer Profile

The beautiful estate of Mora & Memo sits high in the hills in the south east of Sardinia just a few kilometres from the sea.

Focused on the indigenous varieties of Cannanou and Vermentino, the combination of old vineyards with minimal intervention and a delicate touch to the winemaking results in elegant, vibrant and mineral wines.

Viticulture

The vineyards average 30 years of age with vines planted on a south, south east exposure on limestone and clay hillsides around 200 to 200m above sea level.
