Ceccherini Cristiano

9.3

After tasting the whole range from Argiolas you also realise how they got to this blend.
This is stunning, it absorbed 18 months of new oak easy.
Cannonau gives the freshness and the fruit with the carignan, the bovale donates the tannin and the floral shade and Malvasia Nera the aromatic.

Super velvety, fresh, complex and above all long.
It goes without saying this is only a baby. — 10 months ago

100% Vermentino

The nicest Vermentino I’ve had to date.

Ripe fruity body nicely balanced by acidity, sandy fennel notes. Not complex, but definitely quality. — 6 years ago

Besides its acidity, this Sardinian wine is an especially good pair with seafood because it carries the smell of the ocean. Salinity bursts forth with citrus in tow, both on the nose and the palate. It’s a savory wine with loads of character, and it’s a Vermentino from Sardegna. That’s really all you need to know.

Yummy! Super Sardinian :) 50/50 Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cannonau - hmmm it's delicious, garnet color and medium body - pomegranate, plums, raisins and liquor cherries (Grenache higher alcohol) with ripe but medium+ tannins . It fruity, but with acidity "Chuck Norris" kick from Cabernet. — 9 years ago

Super floral on the nose, with strong notes of lemon peel and river rock. The palate is surprisingly lush/ripe and full bodied for a Vermentino - maybe the 14% ABV talking here. I also get a hint of spearmint and stone fruit in the midpalate. Bracing lively acidity throughout. Long finish for an Italian white. Awesome with goat cheese and a fig/olive tapenade. — 9 years ago

From the federal wine Xmas crate. Drank after a long day with chicken Caesar and it totally hit the spot. I taste the apple/pear at the margin. — 6 years ago

I find the bouquet faint and hard to detect, but the taste is wonderfully complex: white peach, grapefruit, orange zest, lemon, and mineral. Very enjoyable. This would probably pair great with ceviche. — 9 years ago

9.3

A superbly-crafted multi-layered Vermentino with great intensity and striking character. Slightly bracing stone fruit, balanced by a second layer of subtle tropical notes and followed by very herbaceous finish. Mint, ginger and white pepper linger very persistently. Great tension of firm minerality and rounded mid palate. This is just about the finest expression of Vermentino I’ve had. Not the greatest value at $40, so I reserve my recommendations for serious lovers of this variety and of more esoteric Mediterranean whites. — 5 years ago

Light mouth feel of a Pinot, but with complex notes of ashy volcanic soil, tree bark and (hint of) berries. Tart acidity on mid palate — 9 years ago
