The big, concentrated 1998 Vernaccia Vigna ai Sassi displays a light to medium straw color, super ripeness, and a nose of minerals, herbs, and dried, raisiny white fruit. This fruit-driven effort has considerable body as well as undeniable personality and presence. Drink it over the next year. A Marc de Grazia Selection, imported by Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel.
