Vermentino is the principal grape of Vermentino di Gallura DOCG, whose grape-growing area is geographically defined as Gallura.
One Sardinian denomination gives the grape several wine forms.
Vermentino di Gallura DOCG requires at least 95% Vermentino in its vineyard base. Its specification recognizes Superiore, frizzante, spumante, passito and late-harvest wines. Those additional words help identify the bottle: the common grape and geographic name can belong to separately defined styles, rather than one uniform kind of wine.
The Vermentino di Gallura grape area is defined by a list of whole municipalities in Sardinia, including Tempio Pausania, Olbia, Monti and Viddalba. This is the delimited area of the named wine; it gives a concrete Sardinian setting for exploring Vermentino.
