  Crisp, citrus and brine. Light and refreshing. Good match for our roasted branzino.

  This is a white wine from Bolgheri produced by Antinidi in their beautiful Guado al Tasso winery. We visited this winery in September 2019. The wine is clear and has pale yellow straw color. A low viscosity (12.5%). The nose is very flowery with jasmine notes, lemon zest and stone fruits. The palate confirms the nose with a refreshing acidity and a medium body and a perfectly balanced minerality, The winery is infact very close to the Sea and its summer breezes caresse the vineyards almost every day. If served cold can be enjoyed as aperitif. It’s otherwise a perfect pairing for a light fish dish or with a paella marinera and grilled calamari ( as we paired it). PM:90

  Fosshótel, Mývatn Iceland.
  At last a decent well made wine. Floral white stoned fruit, lemony with saline minerality and good acid grip. Perfect accompaniment for Iceland's magnificent fish cuisine.
  For drinking youngish. Till 2021

  Winebar [4 Whites, 8 Reds, & 9 *shared* bottles] from 02/07/20 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): "100% Estate Grown Vermentino planted @ 145-190 ft elev to stony, slightly calcareous soils; Vyd plots were harvested separately & in successive passes from 9/15 - 9/30/18; Grapes were destemmed, lightly pressed, & cooled to allow for natural separation of the juice from the skins. The resulting juice was racked into temp-controlled s/s tanks for fermentation @ 61° F; Bottled in Jan ’19,” 2,800 cases imported.
  
  N: Attractive FLOWERS with notes of minerals
  
  P: Med body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt (approaching threshold R.S.?) counterbalanced by an acidity which sets the parameters into & through the LONG, balanced, tangy/swt finish with an OCCASIONAL *glimpse* of very, VERY slight bitterness that SHOULD be a + with food. Nicely done for now & through '21. 12.5% ABV; My VG+/EXC-. 89 pts WS (Sanderson, 10/31/19). [This vendor's $19.95 puts it in the TOP quartile of wine-searcher's postings.]
