Vermentino/Ansonica, Terre del Buontalenti, Italy

16.5 points
Inviting apple and ripe-peach nose. Bitter-peach palate with a grapefruit finish that is a little mouth-watering. Appetising.

Vermentino is a dry style, crisp, aromatic white grape from Italy (Sardinia, Liguria, Tuscany) offering citrus, green apple, and saline notes. Ansonica (Inzolia), mainly from Sicily and Tuscany, is richer with yellow apple, honey, and almond flavors. Both pair well with seafood.
