2018 Marianello Vermentino
In Stock
Vermentino is perfect for Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay drinkers alike. Vermentino has naturally higher levels of phenols than most white wines, giving it exceptional structure and a complex flavor profile. A native grape variety to Sardinia, Vermentino's light salinity echoes the ocean, and pairs flawlessly with freshly shucked oysters. Our Vermentino shares many of the trademark qualities of the Sardinian standard. Our winemaker loves to utilize his own full bodied style and textured mouth feel on wines like these, creating an elegant balance fit for royalty

Vineyard Notes
Sanger Estate Vineyard is nestled in the eastern-most section of the Los Olivos District AVA, and is south facing. This orientation allows more direct sunlight, yielding grapes (and ultimately wine) with more full flavor and of higher caliber.
