Wickedly fresh, the 2023 Vermentino mixes new-world fruit with old-world style as lime zest and mint give way to crushed green apples and sour melon. It bursts upon the palate with a wave of ripe orchard fruits and tropical citrus tones complicated by a core of brilliant acidity and crisp minerality that adds grip toward the close. The 2023 finishes with impressive length while maintaining freshness, leaving a note of succulent white peach that lingers on and on. (EG)
