CV pre dinner tasting. Color lighter than Gavi but nose shows oxidative notes melon ripe fruits. Softer texture roundness on palate. Long grippy finish that’s unexpected. Two more bottles to try. CV second bottle, less oxidative and fresher nose and palate. Upping to 9 — 2 months ago
Frisse geur. Smaakt anders dan hij ruikt. Kleine zoete ondertoon. Volle smaak van rijp fruit en een klein bittertje door ±3 maanden houtrijping — 2 months ago
This is a 9 for the quality of the juice and the absolute banger of a label. — 2 months ago
What beautiful white wine. The nose is peaches, ocean, sage, grass, like hiking in a field in summer. Palate is mineral driven with good acidity. More stone fruit, sea salt, some more greenery. I love it. Better after 90 minutes of air and closer to cellar temp — 3 months ago
Has Vermentino fallen out of favour with Italians and is being replaced by a taste for Chardonnay?
Maybe but I don't want to believe it yet.
On hot summer days there is not much more refreshing than a well chilled glass of Vermentino. Chilled is a must - it still has enough oomph in the nose to release its floral essence. Once it comes up to room temp it can be overwhelmingly perfumey IMHO. Good acid balance.
I'm pretty convinced that you can trust anything from Fontori to be a solid choice. — 2 months ago
Different direction from the Costamolino
Higher vineyard, older vines and more character for this vermentino that tells you that this variety has some far relation to riesling.
Great mineral and more verticality.
More potential to age
