TALES FROM THE WINERY

Entemari means seabreeze in Sardinian language and it’s the sea breeze and salt the distinguishing feature of many whites from Pala.

Entemari is also the Sardinian white wine with the highest ageing potential, that’s why its production is limited and occours only in the best vintages.
