Wineries Santa Maria La Palma
The wines of the Santa Maria La Palma winery are a celebration of the grapes that have been part of the Sardinian landscape since ancient times.
The company's goal is to express the terroir of the Alghero DOC in all possible ways: by selecting specific harvests for specific types of grapes, whether they are single-varietal or blended wines.
Soft, medium-bodied reds with vibrant fruits and spices, mixing with hints of plum and hints of cranberry are produced. As well as white berry Vermentino with its lively acidity and mineral citrus fruits with notes of green apple and slight hints of almond.
And somehow, along with the addition of some international varieties like Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, they are able to create a solid line of over 20 wine styles having each its own personality.
They also make Akenta sparkling wine, aged in the depths of the sea at Capo Caccia.
