Le Stelle Vermentino di Sardegna

The Vermentino grape is an underrated gem; a bit like Sauvignon Blanc minus the nose-full of fresh cut grass and often with more weighty lemon and grapefruit flavours. But essentially, a crisp white with really interesting flavours that’s well worth putting in your glass. This one’s from Sardinia, which produces around half of the world’s Vermentino. Fresh, ripe and goes with anything from chicken to fish to a handful of salted almonds. Especially those. This one’s normally £8.49 but it’s on offer until next week so a real bargain at the price.
