Score: 91Vintage 2021Vinous MediaThe 2021 Vermentino di Sardegna is complex with a burst of crushed stones and sweet smoke that gives way to ginger-tinged green apples. This opens with a pretty inner sweetness that’s perfectly offset by saline minerals and liquid stone, all coasting across silken textural waves. It finishes wonderfully fresh and with a salty flourish that keeps the mouth watering for more. Very nice.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review

Score: 88Vintage 2019Vinous MediaNotes of crushed raw almonds, brown spice and nuances of peach lift up from the 2019 Vermentino di Sardegna. It’s a soft and pliant expression with mineral-tinged orchard fruits and pretty inner florals toward the close. This tapers off poised and slightly drying, a hint of apricot lingering long.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 90Vintage 2018Wine SpectatorA dry, minerally version, with tightly meshed flavors of mango, lime granita, Thai basil and pink grapefruit peel, backed by well-cut acidity. Offers lots of smoke, spice and stone accents throughout, lingering on the mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2024. 3,333 cases made, 500 cases imported. –ANShelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 86Vintage 2018Wine EnthusiastThis has subdued aromas that offers mere suggestions of honeydew melon, apricot and bitter almond. The aromas carry on to the simple, rather diluted palate along with brisk acidity.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
