Is Argiolas Vermentino di Sardegna

Textural floral delight

wonderful spectrum of scents including nectarine, apricot and mango that continue on the palate as nectar w exotic baking spices

Pale straw-yellow. High-pitched, very clean aromas of yellow apple, ginger, and white flowers. Very bright and juicy, in a cool citrusy, medium-bodied style. Flavors similar to the aromas show a persistent, firm finish. Harmonious, easygoing white. (Ian D'Agata, Vinous, March 2018)

 100% Vermentino from the oldest vineyards of Argiolas. Vermentino is another variety that has enjoyed a long history in Sardinia, but like Cannonau, the origin of Vermentino is still a mystery. This variety does best on poorly fertile soils and it has a good tolerance for the salty Mediterranean winds. This Sardinian Vermentino really shows a sensational saline minerality that no other Vermentino winemaking area can replicate, with lemon zest and marked acidity while maintaining good flesh on the body. Its salty, stony finishing note is really out of this world.

Fresh white from Sardegna, great for a summer's day.

I love the winery but this IS.....,

Vintage is 2011. A bit more weighty than the regular bottling, I think this wine might see a little oak.

Some tropical fruits and some richness

Tropical fruit, candied like a jolly rancher, dry and zesty.

16/20 (88/100) Пышный, даже немного навязчивый аромат груши дюшес, цедры лимона и абрикосов. Тельное с умеренной кислотностью, Насыщенное во вкусе. Хорошо, хотя предыдущий винтаж нравился мне гораздо больше.
