Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Straw yellow color with greenish hints. Intense nose with sweet notes of exotic fruit; fresh notes of magnolia, sambuco and almonds, saline sensations. Powerful, full and intense in the mouth with enjoyable acidity and minerality;Persistent with an almond finish characteristic of this varietal.
Lovely aperitif and an ideal fish pairing; excellent complement to grilled shrimp or sea bass, fish soups, oven-baked grouper and cheeses.

Professional Ratings

  • 90
    A dry, minerally version, with tightly meshed flavors of mango, lime granita, Thai basil and pink grapefruit peel, backed by well-cut acidity. Offers lots of smoke, spice and stone accents throughout, lingering on the mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2024.

Nuraghe Crabioni, Italy

This 85 acre property is located in Sorso, Sardinia. Nuraghe Crabioni takes its name from a nuraghe on the estate, located in an area referred to as “Lu Crabioni”. A nuraghe is a conal tower that was widely constructed throughout ancient Sardinia and is considered a unique symbol of the island. Nuraghe Crabioni considers its nuraghe an inspirational landmark that goes hand-in-hand with the winery’s mission to produce high quality wines that express their distinctly Sardinian character. 


Founded in 2003, Nuraghe Crabioni seeks to take the extensive viticultural knowledge of Sardinia and combine it with the best of modern winemaking techniques in order to craft quality estate wines.

A fantastic, aromatic white grape that grows with great success in Sardinia, Tuscany and in lesser proportions on the island of Corsica. Somm Secret—Vermentino is thought to be genetically identical to Liguria’s Pigato grape and Peidmont’s Favorita. It comprises a large proportion of the whites in southern France where it is called Rolle.

Hailed for centuries as a Mediterranean vine-growing paradise, multiple cultures over many centuries have ruled the large island of Sardinia. Set in the middle of the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Phonoecians, Ancient Rome, and subsequently the Byzantines, Arabs and Catalans have all staked a claim on the island at some point in history. Along the way, these inhabitants transported many of their homeland’s prized vines and today Sardinia’s modern-day indigenous grape varieties claim multiple origins. Sardinia’s most important red grapes—namely Cannonau (a synonym for Grenache) and Carignan—are actually of Spanish origin.

Vermentino, a prolific Mediterranean variety, is the island’s star white. Vermentino has a stronghold the Languedoc region of France as well as Italy’s western and coastal regions, namely Liguria (where it is called Pigato), Piedmont (where it is called Favorita) and in Tuscany, where it goes by the name, Vermentino. The best Vermentino, in arguably all of the Mediterranean, grows in Sardinia's northeastern region of Gallura where its vines struggle to dig roots deep down into north-facing slopes of granitic soils. These Vermentino vines produce highly aromatic, full and concentrated whites of unparalleled balance.

Today aside from its dedication to viticulture, Sardinia remains committed to maintaining its natural farmlands, bucolic plains of grazing sheep and perhaps most of all, its sandy, sunny, Mediterranean beaches.
