Always a popular choice among island beach-goers to wash down with fried calamari, the Argiolas 2017 Vermentino di Sardegna Is Argiolas shows zesty fruit, nectarine, lemon blossom and star jasmine. The wine is aged in oak for 12 months, although any evidence of that wood is neatly tucked into a background or supporting role. The significant heat of the vintage translates into apricot confit or orange marmalade, but you sense this only for a fleeting moment. Otherwise, the wine strikes a pretty balance between that exuberant fruit and the natural acidity of the grape.
