2006 Feudi della Medusa Vermentino di Sardegna Albithia Bianco

Light-medium straw colour. Pretty nose of wet stone, lime, acacia flowers, apricots, and a slight hint of honey. I’m really surprised by the weight and texture of this Vermentino, as Galloni’s review notes that it’s aged solely in steel. Replays from the nose are joined by petrol and minerals to the moderately-long, 35-40s finish that shows just a touch of heat. This is a really delicious wine, and way more than I was expecting. This would be absolutely fantastic with a nice fritto misto. Maybe 90 points isn’t enough? Drink now. (90 points)
