Deperu Holler Fria 2017

One of the highlights of my tasting trip to France and Italy last year was meeting our brand-new Sardinian producers, who joined us in southern Corsica. It was my first visit to Corsica, and quite a bonus to taste the new wines from our friends on the neighboring island to the south.

The standout for me was the “Fria” from Deperu Holler, a fresh and lively Vermentino that made my mouth water. Crisp, aromatic, and delicious going down, it was made all the more interesting thanks to the tales from Carlo Deperu about Sardinian history and viticulture. It was abundantly clear, both listening and tasting, that he was a true artisan, deeply dedicated to his craft.
