Hints of berries very much, however, enjoying tasting any Cannonau I can get my hands on these days. Love the grape. #cannanaou — 7 months ago

Benedetta knows how to make a great wine. This comes from a tiny family owned estate on the east side of the hill in Montalcino. Benedetta's father worked these vines for years before he saved up to buy them. They only make 13,000 bottles / year I believe. Think of their Super Tuscan starter /first course wine, the Rossi as the brother, and their Brunello as the "dad". Buy this bottle. — 9 years ago

Part 2 of grocery store adventures… lemon pith, hay, tart white peach, cantaloupe, orange blossom on the nose. On the palate lemonade and tangerine pith, white peach, hints of lemongrass and basil and a touch of saline with a nice viscous body and a medium finish. Impressive value for a budget buy from my neighborhood Giant. Probably would go well with seafood, salads, and light tangy cheeses (or faux-cheeses ;) ) — 3 years ago

Aragosta — Vermentino di Sardegna DOC
Sardegna, Italy 🇮🇹
Overview
A 100% Vermentino from Sardegna DOC, crafted in a fresh, coastal-driven style that captures the island’s marine influence. This is a casual, vibrant expression built on lift, salinity, and drinkability, a true Mediterranean white with energy to spare.
Aromas & Flavors
Bright lemon zest, green apple, and white peach with clear sea-breeze salinity and subtle herbal undertones. There’s a crisp citrus core that feels sharp and focused, yet never aggressive.
Mouthfeel
Lively and razor-fresh, with uplifting acidity and pronounced saline tension. It’s “crazy sharp” in precision but rounded at the edges, finishing smooth with a light, pleasant textural glide that keeps it balanced and highly approachable.
Food Pairings
Grilled shrimp, seafood linguine, oysters, calamari, light fried fish, beachside antipasti, or simply chilled on a warm afternoon.
Verdict
A bright, energetic Sardinian Vermentino that delivers exactly what you want from a coastal white, freshness, salinity, and clarity. Casual in spirit, yet technically well-balanced and satisfying.
🍷 Personal Pick
This is the type of Vermentino that makes you appreciate the island breeze in liquid form. Sharp, refreshing, and dangerously easy to drink, a reliable Mediterranean companion. — 4 months ago
The amazingly smooth red at Capofaro with lunch — a year ago
Deep Ruby with aromas of berries, leather and earthy notes, blend of 80% Sangiovese, 10% Malvasia Nera and 10% Colorino. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberries with leather, cacao and earthy herbs. Long finish, round tannins ending with fruit and earthy character. Very nice!! — 4 years ago
Dark red fruits, leather, milder finish than you’d expect. — 6 years ago
Schioppettino. Rustic, earthy funkiness. Blackberries, citrus pith, white pepper, brambles. Apparently rare in the US, from Fermented Grapes. — 6 years ago
This bottle fucks. So full. So jammy. So good. — 8 years ago
