The inviting floral and citrusy perfume of this wine will draw you right in, then when the deep, summery peach and pear flavors hit the palate you will definitely sigh with pleasure. Vermentino is one of those grapes that isn’t particularly well known, but those of us who are fans appreciate it particularly for its clean, crisp flavors. It adapts well to pairing with seafood; try it with shrimp or crab dishes, for example.
