Palmalias Sardegna Vermentino
Sardinia, Italy
This Vermentino is FANTASTIC! Bright and rich in depth and flavor. Lemon zest, white hydrangeas, green apple skins, and melon on the nose. The pallet is zippy, with a touch of creme feel - lemon cream, pineapple, vanilla, ginger, wet slate, all laced in bright, refreshing acidity. This pairs incredibly well with sushi or Japanese dishes that use Miran to season rice. Bravo!

Nice minerality and acid. White pepper. Don’t see much from Sardegna coming across my table so I’m into that.

Clean, fresh, fruity, mild fennel in the air of the terroir. Very nice. Think clean concentrated golden fruit notes from drying winds, not hot sun baked fruit. When served too cold, fruit and stainless is concentrated, and could be mistaken for mild oxidation. Good on its own, but, fruit floral and honey notes emerge when paired with mild vegetable such as sweet peas, pairing with fresh fennel could be awesome. alcohol becomes more in focus with fish and fats, and umami aspects of fat are amplified slightly. Theres something about the soil notes, but cant place it, not sandy not volcanic... good healthy clean soil

Nice fresh Italian Vermentino wine. Perfect for a warm summer day.

I got this wine from a recommendation for someone that likes a good Cabernet.
This one has a pretty sharp taste but is a red wine. I’m not a fan of a bite when having wine. It’s just not for me.

Not the best vermintino, but pleasant to drink.
