Argiolas Costamolino Vermentino di Sardegna 2017

Sardinia, ItalyA wonderfully consistent label you can count on. Costamolino comes off cool hillside vineyards 190 metres above the Mediterranean. There is rigourous selection of fruit followed by a light pressing and only free run juice to fermentation. The resulting vermentino is delightfully crisp and fresh with a green/yellow colour and enticing floral, ginger notes. The attack is similar with bitter quince and ripe yellow apple flecked with tropical orange. Big enough to match a wide range of seafood including crab, clams, stews and white fish.
