| 75 | | | 91 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | A Mediterranean varietal also known as Rolle in France, Vermentino even grows in North Carolina (see Raffaldini, in the Swan Creek Valley). It makes the perfect seafood wine, but it has other uses as well. Vermentino is the icon white wine grape of Sardinia (Sardegna in Italian), an island between France and Italy. This medium-bodied dry white wine shows a pale straw with greenish glints and presents floral aromas with hints of lime blossom. On the palate, fruit and minerality march in lockstep crafting a mouthwatering mid palate and leading to a long, satisfying, crisp finish. And glass after glass, the palate never tires thanks to the wine’s fresh vibrancy. Superb value. Very flexible with food: Calamari with lemon aïoli; beef carpaccio (no kiddin’); seafood mousses and salads; crumbed, fried seafood from scallops to shrimp to catfish; fish ‘n’ chips; mussels; Greek-style pizza; mild creamy cheeses; grilled snapper or fresh anchovies.
