Acclaim
“The 2010 Vermentino di Sardegna Is Argiolas is 100% Vermentino from the estate's oldest vineyards. It shows gorgeous clarity and nuance in a pointed, mineral-laced expression of fruit. The energy and vitality carry through to the focused finish. There is plenty of density to the fruit; in fact I am tempted to see how the wine might develop in the cellar.”
— Wine Advocate, Jun 2011
[E]xcellent acidity and verve, but with an almost pear-like spice and texture that holds up to more intensely flavored seafood or chicken dishes.
