Mancini Vermentino di Gallura 2023

92+ points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2023 Vermentino di Gallura entices with a savory blend of crushed stones and white smoke, giving way to wildflowers and lemon-laced green apples. This is mineral and saline in character, displaying lovely weight and energy. The 2023 leaves the palate reeling with tension as hints of young kiwi and a sour citrus resonance fade. Even though it's lovely today, the 2023 should be even better with another year or two in the cellar. Drink: 2025-2028. (Apr 2025)"

90 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2023 Vermentino di Gallura from Piero Mancini is a lovely wine. The bouquet is bright and complex, hopping from the glass in a mix of lemon, green olive, a touch of pear, west stone minerality and a topnote of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a good core of fruit and fine mineral undertow on the zesty and well balanced finish. Good juice. 2024-2028. (Jul/Aug 2024)"

Importer notes: "Mancini’s Vermentino is a fresh, forward expression. Pale yellow color, it shows aromas and flavors of peach, tangerine and herbs. Medium-weight in the mouth, with bright acidity. Very clean, good length, finishes with a touch of tangerine. A perfect wine to drink as an aperitif, but would be an absolute delight with seafood (prawns with pasta?)."
