Duca di Salaparuta’s “Sentiero del Vento” is a fresh and breezy Vermentino perfect for cutting through August’s heat and humidity. The barest hint of bitterness in the finish of this mid-weight — not voluptuous — wine adds to its appeal. An invigorating saline-tinged finish with mouth-watering acidity makes it ideal with virtually anything from the sea.
