Acclaim
[W]onderful notes of beeswax, lemon, honey, orange and apple blossoms. Fresh and lively, but intense (not an easy combination to achieve).
— Wine Advocate, Jun 2006
The Is Argiolas Vermentino is a more complex and riper Vermentino, dark gold in color with a nose of ripe fruit and a concentrated honeyed palate with notes of grilled nuts, lychee and minerals.
