Round, fruity and fleshy, like Vermentino from Sardinia should be. It also has that telltale spiced-meat aroma. As a whole this is totally pleasant, a touch hefty but with proper acids and balance. Flavorwise, the mix offers apple, pear and herbs. Easy to drink and versatile.

This pretty rosé from the island of Sardinia opens with a pink color and copper highlights and offers fresh aromas of cranberry, raspberry and pink grapefruit. There’s a touch of tangy spice on the crisp close.

Costamolino is from this producer’s base line of products and offers a very correct expression of food-friendly Vermentino. The wine is redolent of peach and exotic fruit and offers slightly sweet softness in the mouth.

Made with Bovale (60%), Carignano and Cannonau, Korem is a deeply layered and intense wine with high complexity and deep concentration. This is a generous and full wine with smooth tannins and a sour hint on the close.

Turriga is this estate’s top red wine that boasts the extraction and sophistication to pair with Gouda or sharp Cheddar. This vineyard-designate wine is mostly Cannonau (85%) with smaller percentages of Carignano, Bovale and Malvasia Nera. It’s firm and pulpy with young tannins. You can age this wine five years or more.

This is a particularly delicious dessert wine from Sardinia (95% Nasco and 5% Malvasia) that would pair with the dried biscuits and almond cookies that are so popular on this Mediterranean island. The wine offers aromas of honey, apricot and orange peel.

You don’t see many wines made from the indigenous Nuragus grape in the United States. This fresh wine offers finely etched mineral and saline notes over green fruit, kiwi and lime.

Monica is a native grape of Sardinia with loads of fruit nuances and less in the way of structure or tannins. You normally drink it young and fresh with seafood or summer pasta dishes thanks to its easy perfumes of wild berries and blue flowers.

One of several great wines from Sardinia that prove that wineries on this island have been steering a course toward a higher quality. Ruby red color and ripe sweet fruit onh the palate; dominated by a strongly textured, rustic structure. A whole lot of wine for the money.
