I was previously unfamiliar with this wine, but am very happy to have discovered it now. The 2014 Vermentino di Sardegna Merì is a gorgeous expression that is the result of experimental techniques studied to enhance Vermentino. Merì is produced with a special procedure that chills the grapes with dry ice as they are being harvested. This process has done much to lock in the aromas and the natural freshness of this crisp and luminous wine. Although Vermentino is celebrated for its simplicity, this interpretation shows unique creaminess and sophistication. It has the fullness of a Chardonnay and the lighthearted grace of Vermentino.
