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. — 8 days ago

Blend of 80% Vermentino and 20% Chardonnay, pale straw lemon color with aromas of stone and tropical fruit, citrus and floral notes. On the palate flavors of pineapple, peaches and lemon with notes of herb floral spice. Good acidity, balance and structure, medium+ finish ending with fruit, floral and mineral character. Screw cap! Drink now with some sushi! — a month ago

Back in Zurich, eating takeaway Thai outside! Great wine with the curry. Light, dry, mineral. Lemon, floral, pear, apricot, some mint. Dry crisp bitter finish. I had the 2020 vintage a few years ago, but I can’t remember how it compares. — 18 days ago

This is a 9 for the quality of the juice and the absolute banger of a label. — 20 days 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 — 2 months ago

This wine looks yellow-gold with a greenish tint to it. The nose is quite aromatic, displaying a floral note along with massive citrus minerality. The palate has lemon, lime and grapefruit flavors joined by a wonderful salinity. The acidity is very fresh, but the mouthfeel has, overall, a rather soft touch. It’s great to find a Vermentino of this quality that’s made in America. Virginia is for Vermentino lovers, I suppose. — 4 months ago

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 — 6 days ago

Vin de table. Corsican vermentino calling for a seafood medley= coupled with lighter seafood fare. Luminous, light, lychee & slight kirsch notes on the side. Acidity med.low, went well with our simple but elevated caprese salad! — 14 days ago
