The 2021 Vermentino di Sardegna Is Argiolas is classy, opening with a richly enticing bouquet as lemon curds and sweet smoke blow off to reveal pure peach. This is silky and refined with tantalizing acidity and tactile mineral tones that enhance its tropical melon and crunchy green apple core. The palate is left saturated with primary concentration as the 2021 finishes youthfully tense, long and with a salty flourish. The Is Argiolas is fantastic and has a balance that will promote medium-term cellaring.

Sliced green apples, lime zest, grapefruits and guavas on the nose. It’s fruity and flavorful, with a medium to full body and bright acidity too. Tropical fruit notes evolve to a dry minerality. Drink now.

A mouthwatering white, well-knit and light- to medium-bodied, this is lightly fleshy in texture and displays a well-spiced range of blood orange, nectarine and strawberry fruit flavors, plus accents of grated ginger, oyster shell and verbena. Drink now through 2025. 10,000 cases made, 600 cases imported.
