The Best Vermentinos from Italy

The dazzling island of Sardinia is home to one of Italy’s best-kept secrets – Vermentino. The proximity of the Mediterranean Sea makes both Sardinia and the Tuscan coast ideal playgrounds for this variety. If you like Sauvignon Blanc, then you’ll love Vermentino. This light-bodied white wine is deliciously complex with higher levels of phenols, which create a subtle bitterness reminiscent of grapefruit zest. Vivid notes of white pear and peach accompany the sappy salinity. What is more, Vermentinos are superb value for money. Here is Falstaff’s selection of the best.
