Argiolas, Vermentino di Sardegna DOC (Italy) 2020

 Vermentino is a relatively obscure, but deliciously aromatic and flavorful grape variety that yields especially fine wines on the island of Sardinia.  The grapes for the Argiolas 2020 Costamolino Vermentino were grown on the southern part of the island and fermented at a cool temperature to enhance the fruit character of the wine.  It has a bouquet of peach, lime and lemon fruits with hints of linden flower and marjoram.  On the palate, it shows rich peach and citrus fruits underlain by a full texture and elements of herbs and lime zest.  It’s a perfect choice for Provençal seafood recipes or other flavorful Mediterranean dishes.
