No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.

The island wide Vermentino DOC and the most exported Sardinian wine of any kind. Lighter and simpler than Gallura DOCG: lemon, green apple, white flowers, a hint of Mediterranean herb and that sea salt bitterness on the finish, at 12 to 13% alcohol. It's the definition of a seafood white and a very safe buy under twenty dollars.

Still hunting

I'm still looking for a bottle of this.

If you make Vermentino di Sardegna, import it, or know who does, the form takes two minutes and I reply to every one.

Can you help me get one?
