Tino Vermentino di Sardegna
Sardinia, Italy
The 2019 Vermentino di Sardegna Tino pulls you close to the glass with a display of lime-tinged florals, nectarine and hints of salty sea air. This is wonderfully fresh and vibrant, balancing zesty acids with ripe orchard fruits and exotic citrus tones. Its clean, salty finale makes for a pleasant punctuation to the experience.

Mar 24th, 2018Bright straw-green. Strongly herbal and minty notes to the pomaceous orchard fruit on the nose. Then bright, dense and saline, displaying an impressive spectrum of unripe stone fruit to tropical fruit flavors, complicated by a note of anise. Finishes big, round and long. A very fleshy style of Vermentino (it spends roughly two months on the lees) that packs a lot of power. The wine’s name, “Tino,” is a diminutive of Vermentino, though it’s so big and round you couldn’t be blamed for thinking they should have called it “Tone,” as in “Vermentone.” The vines are planted on mainly schistous clay soils with a little limestone.

Mar 9th, 2018Litt af. Herbal and almost savoury. Bangs hard on the nose and follows through with flavour. Definitely best paired with seafood that can hold its own. Pure 🔥

Herbal and fresh on the nose. Light, saline, bitter melon, and orange blossoms. Good lingering crispness.

Lemon drop and halls lozenges on the nose and finish. Not terribly complicated. It’s somewhat redeemed by a very persistent lemon ricola and clove finish.
