"For those unfamiliar with the Vermentino grape, this wine is a good place to start. For those of you familiar with that grape, I suggest you also grab a bottle of this wine the next time you're grilling fish...This light bodied refreshing one from Sardinia's most widely known producers is fresh and bracing, with an intriguing, slightly salty lift in the finish. It's a terrific choice for simply prepared seafood, such as grilled sea bass sprinkled with olive oil and lemon." 88 Points, Wine Review Online
Vermentino, which has acclimatised well throughout Sardinia, is grown in the north-eastern corner of the Sella&Mosca estate, on ancient alluvial soil. Its very concentrated nose shows great complexity that focuses on the variety's aromatic typicity. The palate has firm structure, with taut flickers of marine salinity backed by fruity notes in the soft finish. The "offspring" of the north-westerly wind, it has a natural vocation as an accompaniment to seafood.
