Clean, piercing lemony and mineral aroma and flavors show above average depth and complexity in this tasty Vermentino from Contini. Long and refined through to the finish, the 2018 strikes me as the best Pariglia in many years. $13.00 (Ian D'Agata, Vinous, March 2020) — 5 years ago
This thing is gorgeous, a little known gem that could compete with Jura at 2-3x the price. Nosebleeds with ample dried apricot, almonds, orzata/almond milk, some ginger, some baking spice. However, the oxidative notes are wonderfully balanced by a punchy salinity that keeps the whole thing alive. At 10C it hits a peak of expressiveness and drinkability. Closer to 15 and the 15.5% alcohol starts saying hello — 5 months ago
Drinking something unique and old like this is often a joy. But, I’d put this in the interesting but not delicious category. Brown like a Solera sherry, I can really only imagine this wine working in a haute cuisine pairing. Or in Sardinia on a cliff overlooking the sea, eating fried fish or some pecorino with tartufo and nuts as an antipasto. — 4 years ago
