The 2010 Vermentino di Sardegna Is Argiolas is 100% Vermentino from the estate's oldest vineyards. It shows gorgeous clarity and nuance in a pointed, mineral-laced expression of fruit. The energy and vitality carry through to the focused finish. There is plenty of density to the fruit; in fact I am tempted to see how the wine might develop in the cellar. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018.
A renewed focus in indigenous grapes and a more refined approach to winemaking are some of the developments that are in the air at Argiolas.
