Vermentino di Galluria

I remember blogging about a Vermentino wine before. It was a French example by Robert Skalli, and the most remarkable thing about it was that it was labeled Vermentino, rather than Rolle. I also remember tasting a Tuscan version from the Bolgheri coast too (from Guado al Tasso, I think). This time, it is Vermentino di Galluria, a DOCG wine from Sardinia, which I encountered together with another Sardinian wine (an Isola dei Nuraghi) at the Food Expo last month. That wine was a pale straw, but due to the tail end of the cold, its aromas did not succeed in penetrating my blocked nose. The palate was off-dry and slightly fruity and enough acid to give support to the wine.
