When I tasted this wine, the nose was slightly shut down and never fully opened to its fullest potential. The 2016 Vermentino di Sardegna Cala Silente shows drying mineral tones and touches of flint or granite stone. There is a very thin veil of white peach and citrus at the back. Considering the otherwise vibrant nature of this grape, the effect here is straightforward and lean with reduced overall intensity.
